Why should
it be better formatted (Except maybe in some very exceptional cases
where both parts have been created individually)? Usually the text part
is just a stripped and reformatted version of the HTML part, only that
this has already been done by the mail client when the HTML message was
composed. So where is the difference...?

No, you need to use the part being displayed
for quoting when composing a reply. As has been said before text and
html part sometimes differ, not only in formatting but also the content
may be completely different! E.g. it could contain just a link to read
the newletter online or be just some default text, etc.
b) Vice versa

HTML or a plain text message (and which part of the message will be

even if "Display HTML" is enabled. I do not have a final concept at
hand, but would you agree that some redesign is needed here...?
