(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Rolf Culver]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

With options set to send in HTML, instead the message is sent only in plain text.
This can be overridden on an individual message with Options | Format, but this
is  inconvenient and hard to remember.  It is maddening to work **** a highly
formatted message and then see that all your work was lost when you sent it.
The problem does not appear on a computer running Windows 98.
With Windows XP it appears in Mozilla 1.3 and 1.4b.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check "Compose messages in HTML format".
2. Check "Send the message in both plain text and HTML".
3. Edit Message as New an existing HTML message with a GIF file and a table and
text in different colors and sizes and using bold, italics, and underlining.
4. Send to self or another.

Actual Results:  
The message in the Sent folder or Inbox folder is in plain text and all the HTML
formatting is lost.  The Message Source also shows that only the text/plain
version was sent.

Expected Results:  
Send the message in plain text and HTML.
