There is no hidden preference for this, but the implementation would be 
straightforward. MailMate could simply allow you to specify a mailbox 
containing the messages for which plain text should be preferred. The 
default should be “All Messages” although there is a technical 
problem here since this mailbox does not include trash/junk. Not sure 
how to handle that with respect to user interface...
