Why No HTML in my Email?

Starting a few weeks ago, I've noticed all my emails are received in
ordinary text. I have 4 different ISPs and I think it happened at
different times in all of them. I use both Forte Agent and
Thunderbird to receive email. What is this all about?

Might be an antimalware filter blocking HTML cause it can carry hidden
stuff. Added any new antimalware in the past month?

The anti-virus in Norton 360 might have decided to start doing it. I
don't see anything under HTML in the email options. Is there anyway
to tell? Thanks.

Disable Norton 360 and send yourself an email in HTML format.

No HTML even without Norton 360. I am wondering if the problem is
Adblock+. Anybody know what that program does?

I know that Thunderbird has a setting for this.

When viewing a message, click on "View" in the menu bar, then "Message
body as...". The choice seems to stick, so the following messages will
be the same until you change it again.

I know of nowhere other than while viewing a message to see this.

The TB Add-on "Toolbar Buttons" (http://codefisher.org/toolbar_button/)
makes it easy to move between HTML and plain text. Just install it and
drag the "HTML Mode" button to your toolbar.

AdBlock+ is a browser add-on, as far as I know, but you said you're
using Agent and Thunderbird as your email clients, so browser stuff
wouldn't be relevant. My version of Agent, 2.0, doesn't do HTML email,
(I'm not sure about your version), but I assume Thunderbird is
capable. If it's not your security software, I'm guessing it's a
configurable setting in Thunderbird that's messing you up.
