343666 - Feature: Forward/reply message as HTML

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228562

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[Antun Karlovac]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

I'm proposing a Forward-as-HTML option in the message window.. 

I have Thunderbird set up to forward messages inline by default. That's what I want 99% of the time, because I'm forwarding text-only (or HTML messages that only contain text) emails. This means that Thunderbird converts ALL HTML messages to text-only when I forward them.

Ocassionally I need to override this default on a per-message basis, in order to preserve images in the original message. Right now there's no way to forward an HTML message inline -- as HTML -- without going into my preferences.

In the Message menu, there's a Forward As> option, that takes me to:

Inline
As Attachment.

It seems there should be an option at that level to say:

Inline (preserve original format)

Same would go for replying to emails.


Reproducible: Always

Shift forward should work, but doesn't. See bug 254931/bug 228562.
