BY default, all Mozilla email products have HTML email enabled for
sending and receiving. And I have never been able to turn off HTML
receiving.

I assume that the Mozilla developers are cluey and know that HTML email
is evil, so I must conclude that they are bowing to market pressure
by leaving HTML turned on be default in their email products.

What is good for the marketplace is not necessarily good for the
individual or society.
