I have been told, that If I send a message in plain text....
when I click on it in the sent folder then choice "Edit Message as New" that it is normal that The HTML bar is not present because SM cannot transform a plain text message into an html one, so, forgot to use html gadget when you want to add text.

This is not normal, my default message composition is in HTML, so when i do "Edit Message as New" the html bar MUST be present.
Don't say that SM cannot transform..etc .... BECAUSE....
when I receive a message in plain-text:
- Edit Message as New ----> HTML bar not present.
- Reply --------------------> HTML bar present.

So - Don't says that SM cannot xform a plain-text text into an html text because the html bar is present when i do a "reply".

Clone of Bug "1259984 - "Compose messages in HTML format" dropped when "Edit Message as New"", created by the same author. INVALID!

Just to says that if it can be done when we do a "reply", it can be done when we do a "Edit Message as New" - This is not an enhancement, it's just solving a bug.
