Greetings, Jens The way its setup now in SM2 if you have set to Plain Text in a newsgroup you can only post in Plain Text. If you set for HTML you can post either in HTML or Plaintext you'd switch just by holding Shift key down (Mac) to swap to other format. In Email you swap one to the other regardless of which format you in. I suspect because most people here hate worth a passion HTML it was built in not to be able to toggle to HTM if set to Plain text. Since I don't see a setting for that at the newsgroup level, I assume that I still need to have two profiles, and have two entries for the server, one for groups which allow, even encourage it, and a totally separate one for the text groups. Does that sound like a convenient user interface or what? Or you can set the whole server to HTML posting, forget half the time, and piss off most of your readers.
