To beat some sense out of the internal editor, do this:

-- Under account settings, composition and addressing, uncheck "Compose
- messages in HTML format".

- Edit your Thunderbird config settings so that it won't use format=flowed.
Go to "edit->preferences->advanced->config editor" to bring up the
thunderbird's registry editor, and set "mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed" to
"false".

-- Enable "preformat" mode: Shft-click on the Write icon to bring up the HTML
- composer, select "Preformat" from the drop-down box just under the subject
- line, then close the message without saving. (This setting also applies to
- the text composer, but the only control for it is in the HTML composer.)
+- Disable HTML Format: Set "mail.identity.id1.compose_html" to "false".

+- Enable "preformat" mode: Set "editor.quotesPreformatted" to "true".

+- Enable UTF8: Set "prefs.converted-to-utf8" to "true".
