User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 When displaying a message on 1.2b that is only in html format the message is displayed as plain text in the preview window and if you open the message in its own window. This does not happen on 1.1 where the message is displayed correctly in html. If the message has both plain text and html then the plain text portion is displayed (or the html version is converted back into plain text and displayed). Also if you reply to the message the quoted text is plain and not html. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Preferences, Mail & Newsgroups, SendFormat set to send only HTML 2. Compose a message for example TEST. Bold the text. 3. Send the message. 4. Preview the message when it arrives in your inbox. Actual Results: The content of the message file was: Return-path: <jay.tolbert@dei-pe.com> Received: from dei-pe.com by dei-pe.com with SMTP (MDaemon.PRO.v6.0.7.R) for <jay.tolbert@dei-pe.com>; Thu, 17 Oct 2002 09:25:49 -0500 Message-ID: <3DAEC872.2030607@dei-pe.com> Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 09:25:54 -0500 From: Jay Tolbert <jay.tolbert@dei-pe.com> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016 X-Accept-Language: en, pdf, ko, ko-kr, ja MIME-Version: 1.0 To: DEI-Jay Tolbert <jay.tolbert@dei-pe.com> Subject: Test Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-MDRcpt-To: jay.tolbert@dei-pe.com X-Return-Path: jay.tolbert@dei-pe.com X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: jay.tolbert@dei-pe.com <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title></title> </head> <body> <b>Test</b> </body> </html> The message displayed in the preview pane and when opened in its own window as: *Test* Expected Results: The text should have been bold and without the *s. I'm using the classic theme.
After further investigation I appear to have accidentally set View -> Message body as -> Plain Text. My error.
