238633 - Allow single-use switch to HTML format when composing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 140800

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Peter Kay]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

There should be an option to switch a message that is being composed to HTML. 
E.g., if I have Mozilla set up to send mail as plain text, there should be an
easy way to allow me to send a single e-mail as HTML.

Maybe the Options->Format should be available to users of Plain Text e-mail as
well as for those who use HTML (I just read about this in the Help).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  In them mail preferences, uncheck "Send HTML Messages"
2.  Compose a new message.
3.  Realize you want to send it in HTML
4.  Scratch your head in puzzlement.

Actual Results:  
I couldn't send my e-mail with HTML formatting.

Expected Results:  
Let me go Options->Format->HTML

Not sure whether to call this a bug or enhancement.  We'll go with enhancement :)
