210693 - Mozilla ignores the Send Format settings and sends e-mail in plain text

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 136502

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[schekel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612

After composing a mail containing e. g. bold, italic or underlined text, the
text appears to be e. g. bold, italic or underlined in the compose window. But
Mozilla sends the mail in plain text, ignoring the Send Format settings "Ask me
what to do" (mail doesn't prompt me to choose a format) and "Send the message in
HTML anyway". A possibility to avoid this bug is the use of the options menu
while composing a message ("Rich Text Only" instead of "Auto-Detect").

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press the compose button
2. Compose a message with rich text elements
3. Press the send button
Actual Results:  
The message has been sent in plain text.

Expected Results:  
The message should have been sent in rich text.

This looks like bug 157346 (despite the initial discussion there about character 
encoding).  Reporter, if you agree, please mark this bug as a duplicate of that.
