Every email I want to read, I am asked which version I want (plain text or html) and I'd like a default choice.
In Thunderbird, for reasons I do not know, the messages/emails are listed, but each has a "expand" arrow next to it. When I click on it, two versions of that same emails are often presented: plain text and html. That happens with many emails as they're sent in both plain text and html.
However, this process is something I do not want. I'd like it to pick html over plain text when that is available, and otherwise just never bother with an expand arrow and letting me pick. What used to be a 1-click affair to select the next email has turned into a 3-click affair: select email, expand, select version.
Please help? Where can I alter this behaviour?

That looks like the fancy new cards view. Try changing to the old list view and see if it still reproduces as I have never heard of Thunderbird trying to display the version versions in the message body as seperate mail.
Did you get your version from Thunderbird, flatpak or your repo? They could all potentially be different as Linux is so big on Choice. Mostly for developers and maintainers I think.
Yes, it indeed is that cards view, however, if I switch to the other (classic) alternative, the 'expand' arrows remain. However I am wondering if this perhaps is connected to Messages not being downloaded if they exceed a certain file size. I'll experiment and see if that is part of my issue.
Oh, excuse me, to answer your question - this is the version included with Linux Mint, the non-flatpak one.
