Deactivate HTML display in incoming emails in Thunderbird

I often get HTML emails, I would like to just display them in plain text. How can I disable any HTML/Script rendering?

    I do not believe you can stop the rendering itself.

    The 3 things I know of that you can use are...

    1. View > Message Body As > Plain text
    2. Not use preview (f8 toggles on/off)
    3. You can also enable Tools > Options > Advanced > Privacy > Block loading of remote images to stop loading remote images (that also kills the ability to execute code from there).

  2. View _> Layout _> Message Pane does the same as F8 (#2 above) in Tbird
