286547 - Make mesage rendering (HTML or text) a function of sender

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Taso Hatzi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2
Build Identifier: 

The suggestion is to allow a message to be rendered in HTML or text depending on
the sender. The switch could be an attribute in the address book. The global
"View Message Body As" setting would be used if nothing is specified in the
address book.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Seamonkey bug 239511.
I would think that simply being *present* in the address book would be 
sufficient to allow showing the HTML body -- that is, use the addr. book as a 
whitelist.  This would be a natural extension of the current whitelisting for 
remote image loading.

What you describe Seamonkey would not work for me. I prefer to see text every
time. Unfortunately some sources (usually newsletters & etc) only send HTML and
it would be convenient to flag those for HTML rendering.

Next best for me would be quick way to toggle between HTML & text, but I think
that one has already been broached.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
