174523 - Plain text editor does not follow prefs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 173953

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Frank Klein]

In build 2002101412, I notice that in the plain text editor (when replying to
email), I am seeing graphical block quotes.  I have block quotes, graphical
quotes, and flowed text (display and send) disabled in user.js (as shown below),
and indeed, the messages are displayed properly, with the good old fashioned >
cite tags.  However, these horrible graphical quotes still show up in the
editor.  I looked in the .js files in /res, and I did not find a pref that would
seem to be linked to this, so I would presume this is a bug, with the plain text
editor (which AFAIK never used to support block quotes before) failing to heed
the existing prefs for disabling block quotes.

Excerpt from user.js:

user_pref("mail.quoted_graphical", false); 
user_pref("mail.quoteasblock", false); 
user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);
user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false);
