However, this case is pretty rare. You mostly want to add a link to a document (if you want to insert a link to an URL you just copy/paste). By default, use the filter "All Files" rather than "HTML Files". This would be especially welcomed on Intranets. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compose a mail. 2. Add a link (Insert/Link). 3. Choose File Actual Results: The default sort is "HTML Files". Expected Results: Please replace it by "All Files".

Sounds reasonable. While html as default for composer is fine, I don't think people usually add links to *local* html files.

This has caused thousands of "needless" clicks in my usage.(html/multimedia) A further refinement might be to "remember" the last chosen selection in the same way as the last searched folder for image insertion is saved.
