I happen to have looked into this just recently. I don't know of a way 
to switch dynamically from the plain text editor to the HTML editor (I 
seem to recall that a long time ago this was possible from a menu 
option), but if you have TB set to use plain text by default, if you 
hold down the shift key while clicking Write or Reply, you'll get the 
HTML editor. 

Also, if you set TB to use the HTML editor by default, it will 
supposedly only send HTML formatted messages if you make use of HTML 
formatting. (I'd use this option, but 1. I don't particularly like the 
behaviors of the HTML editor, especially the way it handles quoted text, 
and 2. I so rarely need the HTML features.)
