You can write emails in plain text.
Settings --> "Mail" --> "General" --> "Compose message in" setting to "Plain text" works.
You can also set that option in sogo.conf as default for all newly created accounts with:
SOGoMailComposeMessageType = "text";

But you always read emails in HTML, if they where send as such.

This should absolutely be selectable on a per message basis. E.g. there are mailing lists I am on which mess up HTML emails. At the moment each time I want to send a plain text email I need to go into settings, mail, general, change the default. And then reverse that process after to return to HTML compose.
It's not a good UX for what should be / could be a toggle at point of composition to temporarily change the default for the current email.

Hi,
it must also be possible to give the user the ability of setting a parameter in his his own profile to show only the plain text part of a html mail. If there is no plain text part in a html mail just show the info "there is just html in this mail - do you want to read this content? [y|N]"
This is very important to be shure that you do not open mails with phishing content!

"But you always read emails in HTML, if they where send as such."
That is the exact problem.
