414331 - Shift + Forward behavior is incorrect when "Forward messages inline" option is selected

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228562

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Dmitry Kagan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.9 (20071031)

When "Forward messages as attachment" option is selected, Shift + Forward behavior is as following:
1. If "Compose messages in HTML format" is selected in account options, Shift + Forward on e-mail will correctly open a plain text Message Compose Window.
2. If "Compose messages in HTML format" is deselected in account options, Shift + Forward on e-mail will correctly open a HTML Message Compose Window.

When "Forward messages inline" option is selected, Shift + Forward will open an HTML/Plain text Message Compose Window, depending on account setting, just like pressing Forward will do.

Note that Shift + Reply works correctly in both "Forward messages inline" and "Forward messages as attachment" modes and reverses the account default message composition mode.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Forward messages inline" under Tools->Options->Composition->General
2. Uncheck "Compose messages in HTML format" under Tools->Account Settings ->Composition and Addressing->Composition
3. Select an HTML message in your Inbox and press Shift + Forward
Actual Results:  
A plain text Message Compose Window is opened

Expected Results:  
An HTML Message Compose Window should be opened
