Details

Right now we only support text/plain composition. If replying to a text/html message, we include/quote the text/html message we are replying to as an immutable non-editable hunk of stuff and the user's input is still limited to plain text. (Which is then escaped and wrapped into an HTML body with the quoted HTML.) This has always been an eventual feature; we just didn't have time before and platform limitations relating to selection would have made it quite difficult. My tentative suggestion for library support has been https://github.com/neilj/Squire (a fastmail-developed open source lib) to help address the edge-cases of content-editable. (Even if it was a non-goal to ever work on other browser engines, the content-editable spec and Gecko's content-editable implementation have enough rough edges that it seems desirable to use a library. All the better for it to make it more feasible for us to work on other engines.)
