In Thunderbird, can I set email received from one address to be text-only (not html)?

LinkedIn sends updates to group discussion threads with a "teaser" of the remarks posted in a comment. I heard somewhere that if I can convert receiving the SENDER's email into text-only (not html), then I will receive the entire text posted in that comment.

I have no need to do this for any other SENDER to my system.

So, can this be done?

TIA

A simple answer to your query is NO, it cannot be done for just a single sender. All messages would be treated the same.

You may have heard that the text-only version contains all the text of the html message. This is only true if the message was composed in BOTH 'html' and 'text' formats, (a multi-part format)

If the LinkedIn update does not give the entire message in html format, changing to view it as text will not show any additional parts of the message. The text version is the same message as the html version, but without the html tags.
