I think you can file a bug for it. After all, it is a bug that the code does not check for the contact's option properly.

Thanks Milan for the explanation. Is there any reason for checking the setting only in auto-completion?

To have it working, you need to have the recipients auto- completed from the address book, using the contact with the "Wants HTML" set (in case you've the contact in multiple address books). Only after that the composer verifies whether the HTML format is fine for all the recipients. When you reply or create a new message for the contact, the address is not auto-completed, thus the question is not shown. The "Wants HTML" option doesn't change the compose format, it only works as a reminder when the message is about to be sent. If you want to play with it more, I'd suggest to try Edit->Preferences ->Composer Preferences->Sent through Outbox, which will pile the messages into the On This Computer/Outbox, instead of sending them immediately, where you can review what is sent and eventually correct things in it when needed.

Indeed when I store my evolution-list contact locally, that check box becomes active. Still, when I replied to this message (or when I click on the email address when displaying the contact), the editor was in HTML mode. I tried reproducing that setting with myself as a contact, expecting that I would get a confirmation window if I tried to send myself a message in HTML, but didn’t get any and I received the message in HTML. I’m wondering how to enforce that setting then? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

It's active for my locally stored contacts but not for Google or EWS/O365. I'm afraid I don't have any LDAP backend configured to comment on that. If there's no category store that information in the backend store, then it will be inactive.

I guess I would prefer a solution that allows me to keep formatting messages in HTML by default, but I’ll consider this one. The ‘Wants to receive HTML mail’ check box remains greyed out whether I enable or not the ‘Format messages in HTML’ option. So I guess the two are not related. But then, in which conditions would the former _not_ be greyed out? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I have deleted most of this thread, so pardon me if these setting was mentioned. I don't think they're on a per user basis, though. ---settings Evolution Preferences>Composer Preferences> General: Format messages in HTML: unchecked. Confirmations: Before composer format changes from HTML to Plain Text Evolution Preferences>Mail Preferences> HTML Messages: Prompt on sending HTML mail to contacts that do not want them --- end of settings Behaviour when replying: When replying to a plain text message: replies with plain text When replying to an HTML message: Brings up a requester... Are you sure you want to change the composer format? Switching to Plain Text format will cause the text to lose all the HTML formatting. Do you want to continue? Choices: Don't lose formatting Lose formatting Hope this helps. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I wasn’t aware of that setting, thanks for that! Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be working. When I added the Evolution list to my contacts, that check box was there but greyed out (unticked). When I replied to this message the editor was in HTML mode. I tried with another personal contact I already had in my list, same issue.

[Evolution] Send messages as plain text to select recipients
Evolution 3.40.4. I’ve just sent a message in HTML by mistake to this list because I set up my preferences to format messages in HTML by default, and forgot to revert to Plain Text before sending. To avoid any such mistake in the future I’d like set an override for select recipients, but I haven’t found any way to do that. Is that possible?
