That's where the "Prefers to receive messages as" setting on the recipient's 
address book entry will come into play. If the recipient (in this case you) 
is configured to prefer plain text mail, then T-bird will send the mail 
formatted acording to the setting under Edit-Preferenses-Composition-Send 
Options-Text Format.
