Some people use big ugly fonts with ugly colors in their mail. However, since these people are colleagues, I'd still like to read their mail, but without hurting my eyes :)
I'd also like to keep html formatting on by default. So is there something like "display this sender's emails as plain text"? I couldn't find it :-(

I'm not 100% sure this will work, but go into the address book, right click a user > Properties then set this (and probably uncheck the HTML images box too):

3I think that option is for what format the person in the address book wants to receive e-mails in, not the format you receive them in. – ChrisF – 2009-09-23T22:03:30.843
Do you want all emails to be displayed as plain text ? – Sathyajith Bhat – 2009-09-18T10:48:08.500
1@Sathya The question is looking to have only a certain set of senders have their emails to Peltier displayed as plain text while everyone else can go either way. – random – 2009-09-18T11:00:39.053
@Sathya : as I have clearly stated in my question, I do not want all emails to be displayed as plain text. – Peltier – 2009-09-18T11:11:53.617
Do you have the option of using something like procmail? – K Robinson – 2009-09-18T23:20:02.583
@K Robinson: I'd really like to avoid using something like this. – Peltier – 2009-09-29T08:50:59.420
