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.
I think this may be the bug we want?
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137884>
Options->Format Menu missing when using File->New->Message
It seems that this bug is blocked by format - auto-detect
Sorry, I hit send too quickly!
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136502>
is asking for an ability to turn-off auto-detect, so that the users
menu selection can be preferenced to the auto-detect feature that's
used extensively throughout the messaging client.
The auto-detect tracking bug is
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=889315>
Reported: 2002-04-09
The problem is DEAD ....
I agree that SM send in plain text when there is no html code.
But SM must permit me to insert an HTML code in an "Edit message as New"
of this sent message.
