As I said, you need to disable images by default. This does not prevent use of HTML.

But I don't really care, use whatever you want.

Released yesterday:
Thunderbird CVE-2022-3033 (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2022-38/) and two more HTML related security issues.

If you're interested in security please subscribe to a security mailing list and you'll see how bad things are. Most people aren't aware of these security issues since mainstream media reports them only very rarely. I'm just trying to increase awareness and possibly educate a few users as I'm involved in this cat and mouse game for a long time.

Vulnerabilities in clients are different. I don't consider them a real problem unless you are being specifically targeted. Advertisers and trackers will not use them, since they get patched and only affect a limited set of clients.

Also, the recent issue does not affect Simple HTML mode, which is the mode I would use if I used Thunderbird.

There is noting prevents your client from having issues with parsing the text as well. Sure, plain text is easier, so the chance of an issue is lower, but you can't eliminate it.
