(Get the code!)
There is a lot wrong with this since once again you're mixing *delivery* with *composition* format.
TB has an intricate system to ship the appropriate format to the recipient as stored in the address book:
Prefers message formatted as ...
So the sender might compose rich text and the recipient will receive "embellished" plain text.
Also, there shouldn't be a formatting toolbar for a plain text composition, since you can't apply text colour, size, etc. If you want bold or underline, use *bold* or _underline_, all plain text fans know that.
As I said before, all that can be said here was said already. I am the compose peer in Thunderbird and I can tell you that we will not use the delivery format switch to change composition format.
If someone wants to propose a patch, please go ahead.
