352167 - <OL TYPE="A"> prints "1." in plain text

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136595

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Lee Newberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 (20060719)

If I use "insert HTML" to add "TYPE='A'" to create "<OL TYPE='A'>" markup the enumeration correctly shows items enumerated with "A", "B", "C", etc.  However when the message is sent with MIME parts for HTML and for plain text, the plain text part arrives with the enumerated items as "1", "2", "3", etc., although the HTML part displays correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert "TYPE='A'" into <OL> markup via the insert HTML command.
2. Observe that the enumerated list now correctly enumerates the items as "A", "B", "C", etc.
3. Send the message to a user whose desired format is unknown, so that the message comes with a MIME part for HTML and a MIME part for plain text.
4. Observe that the plain text part now shows the enumeration with "1", "2", "3", etc., although the HTML part displays correctly.

Actual Results:  
The plain text part of the received message shows the enumeration with "1", "2", "3", etc., although the HTML part displays correctly.

Expected Results:  
The plain text part of the received message should show the enumeration with "A", "B", "C", etc.
