Mozilla is set to always send emails as HTML. The @lucent.com domain is listed
in the preferences as a HTML domain.
I use the attached signature file. Often, the email (including the signature) is
converted to ASCII format. This shouldn't happen

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See Details
Actual Results:
ASCII based emails are sent by mozilla
Expected Results:
HTML based emails should be sent.
If you hold down the shift-key while hitting compose/reply/forward, Mozilla will
send the email as text. Did you do that accidentally?

Nope. The shift key wasn't hit at all.
I can't work out the pattern thats causing it. I thought at first maybe it was
the names used in the To and CC fields, but it seems random

Adrian Marsh, this appears similar to bug 187064; do you agree it is a
duplicate?

Mike,
S.Greens bug does seem to be linked, but I think his focus was more on the fact
that the pop-up windows wasn't "popping up" when he'd selected it. He also says
that when he has the preference set to "always html" that it works fine, whereas
mine doesn't
I always have my default set to send as html, but on frequent occasions it sends
it as plain text. I think it seems to do this when I send to domains both in
and out of the corporate @lucent.com domain. (@lucent.com is also listed in the
preferences as "always html")
Bug 208939 does seem to be very similar again to mine.
Do you want to combine all three ?

Adrian, the original bug report there also talks about Send As HTML Anyway being
broken. As I noted there, I suspect another bug's fix of having generated the
problems you're having, and perhaps for S.Green's as well.
I'm going to copy the information about the domain-specific preference also
being ignored over to that bug.
