Summary says it all. This would be particularly useful to set the Junk folder's body-view to Plain Text. I would set my Inboxen to Simple HTML, but archive folders to Original HTML.
I see that this request is part of bug 174083.

Moving my front-end RFEs from MailNews to Thunderbird (sorry for spam)

Just as a workaround until this gets fixed: the Mnenhy extension provides a mechanism to store preferences depending upon the current folder. <http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/folderstore.html>
Can't be: This mayor enhancement request is 3 years old now! Seems like I need to switch temporarily to a different feed reader, cause I like my mail in plain text but my news with pics in it. Is there a solution I didn't get?
in tb 2.0, we block all external content in e-mail unless you say to allow it for a particular sender. But we show images in rss feed messages. So I'd think you could get what you want in 2.0 w/o this feature.
Well, "blocked remote content" is not the same as either "view as plain" or "view as simple". Feeds didn't exist when I opened this bug. For feed items where the content is an <iframe>, View as Simple shows only the alternate content contained within the <iframe></iframe>, which may be the summary text, a URL, or nothing at all; View as Plain simply drops the <iframe> entirely (bug 365953), which breaks the display (nothing seen). TB now automatically uses As Simple for messages marked junk, so that aspect isn't as big of a deal.

version 3.0a1 (2008050715) Also its good idea to treat all spam messages or/and Junk folder as plain text by default. Outlook 2003 is using such scheme for junk.

That's just because they don't have the sanitized view;) (Which we use for junk.)
I did some digging into the *.msf for a news group and I think there are 4 Mork data fields that may relate to this RFE to retain view settings. (c3=current-view-tag)(c4=current-view)(b3=view-flags)(b4=view-type) If the original reason for them was for setting a view on a per group basis, then to get the functionality we need some UI, probably the right-click context menu Properties popup dialog where we now select retention per group. The other part of this is the code to edit the respective *.msf to insert proper values in the fields.
Mnenhy allow to use settings per folder http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/ As workaround currently
