Sorry if this has already been hashed out in a mail list. I looked through a couple hundred tickets in Trac and found one ticket that seems to match my issue, but it was marked as a duplicate of another message that wasn't exactly the same thing.

I reply to messages in plain text about 99.99% of the time, whether the original message was in HTMl or plain text. I have the setting "Compose HTML messages" set to "never". However, every once in a while I specifically want to reply to an HTML message in HTML format. As far as I can tell, the only way for me to do this currently is for me to open Settings, go to "Composing Messages" and change "Compose HTML messages" to "on reply to HTML messages", save the configuration, then go back and reply to the message. Then when I'm done, go back and undo that configuration. It would be nice if there was some way to do a one-off HTML reply/forward in the user interface without having to change the overall policy in the settings.

Is this a feature that has specifically been decided against, or has it not been brought up? If it's something people might find useful, then I could potentially try to implement it and submit a patch.

Thunderbird has a feature where using Shift key + Write button you switch the default mode. So, if the message would normally be composed in plain text it will open the composer in HTML mode. That might be something to consider.
