If you prefer to have Mail show you the plain text alternative (if it exists) of all HTML or RTF formatted messages in the Message Viewer, quit Mail and enter the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
Ah, the way email was originally intended...quick and simple.
To restore Mail's default handling of HTML or RTF messages, quit Mail and enter:
defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
