183375 - new messages are created in plain text when settings specify HTML & Text email

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 167815

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Mike McCallister]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When viewing the headers of an email (not the full headers as when viewing the
message source) in the preview pane or the actual message, you can click on an
email (right or left mouse click) and it displays a menu:

Add To Address Book
Compose Mail To
Copy Email Address
Create Filter From Message

In 1.2.1 (which I just installed today on Linux and Windows), if you select the
"Compose Mail To", the new composition email gets setup but in plain text mode.
 My settings are HTML & Text emails.  If you click "Compose" in the main mail
application Window, everything works fine.  The older version of Mozilla that I
was running 1.0.1 did not have this problem.

BTW:  Thank you for your time and effort
