153054 - can't sitch between HTML/plain view in Yahoo compose

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 151967

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[sajid ali]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    2002053012

I use a yahoo mail account on a regular basis.  One of the features that I use 
a lot while composing a new mail is the toolbar available there.  But when I 
use Mozilla 1.0 (under Windoze 2ooo), the browser does not give me the link 
that says Add colour & graphics.  This is one of those situations where I'm 
forced to use IE, and I don't like it at all.  Can't Mozilla be tweaked to get 
this hitch off...?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make an email account in yahoo.com
2. log in using that account
3. click compose to write a new mail
4. just above the text box for the mail body, there should be a link that 
says 'Add colour & graphic' or 'Switch to plain version'.

This is missing while at the same page using Mozilla 1.0 for a browser.

Actual Results:  the link is not even there.  I can only compose mail in plaint 
text.  I can't get the toolbar to change fonts, font colours, font sizes, add 
smileys, change indents & text alignment etc...

Expected Results:  Be able to format the text much the same way as a basic word 
processor.  Just have to use the facility provided by Yahoo!

By the way, I couldn't find a way to attach a scr shot.  I had mailed to 
Gervase Markham with the attachment (using IE via the facility missing while 
browsing with Mozilla 1.0)

Evangelism or Invalid,

Yahoo intentionally does not show this option based on browser sniffing (since
it is missing in the source given to Mozilla).

I noticed this too. I'll find out why they don't make that available currently
to Mozilla browsers.
