When i send an html mail without html command - the mail is sent as
pure plain text without my intervention.
So far, so good.
I decide now to resend this mail with some extra text to, per
example, another guy - this extra text perhaps in RED color.
So I click on "Edit Message as New" and I am faced now with a mail
in plain text where i cannot add html commands.
The SM editor did not give me, per example, the html bar.
How can I switch to the Editor in HTML mode ?
Is your setting in "Edit, Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings,(your
account or newsgroup folder name), Composition & Addressing,
Composition, Compose messages in HTML format" checkbox ticked?
All Accounts and all NewsGroups have "Compose messages in HTML format"
ticked.
The problem is when i do "Edit Message as New" on a sent message who
was sent in plain text without my decision. (SM decide to not send in
html nor both when there is no html command in the message)
I agree with that action, BUT when i click on "Edit Message as New"
for this sent message, SM must permit me to work in html mode -
because I have All Accounts and all NewsGroups have "Compose messages
in HTML format" ticked.
If someone tell me how to achieve this, I will be happy.
You are correct.
Even in tonight's nightly trunk build, there's no "Option, Format"
menu-drop-down list, on the "Edit Message as New" Compose-window
toolbar, to edit a plain-text message-body as HTML, so one has
zero-option to create HTML, without resorting to opening the
message-body in Composer, editing the message body, and copy and pasting
it back into a new-mail window.
Following-on from the similar issue/thread "Sending a new HTML e-mail
reverts back to plain text?", being discussed by Mark and Ant in this
newsgroup, where sending a paragraph-aligned message-body as HTML sends
as plain-text, and where their proposal is to add a space formatted in
colour, just to get a HTML paragraph-formatted HTML-email sent as HTML,
- which isn't an option for us, because the HTML menu and toolbar, just
isn't available in the "Edit Message as New" Compose window of a plain
text message-body, I don't think I would agree with the concept of a
HTML paragraph-layout message body, being converted to plain text,
especially where that was never the sender's intention. It seems one now
has to edit it in Composer, then drag it back into Mail as a new HTML email.
