User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Since I upgrade to Firefox 1.5 (released version) yesterday, the DHTML version of Yahoo compose email is not working. When I try to compose, it defaults to plain HTML.

Previously, it works in Firefox 1.0.7

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to mail.yahoo.com
2. login
3. Compose
4. DHTML compose mail is not enabled, it defaults to plain HTML editing (plain text)

Actual Results:  
Compose mail only in text

Expected Results:  
It should present compose mail with all DHTML capabilities like version 1.0.7

Using the useragentswitcher extension to report Firefox 1.0.7 gives me the DHTML editor. Issue is with yahoo mail.

This has morphed slightly: HTML mail composition now works in Firefox 1.5.x but not in Minefield. Spoofing as Firefox/1.5 makes it work (after deleting the yahoo.com cookie).
