I know that NNTP forums are text-only. But I use internal company NNTP servers were HTML formatting is appreciated and usable. Also I use NNTP Bridge to post to a HTML Forum via the NNTP interfaces. But it is not possible to send HTML messages with TB without getting a control question or that TB canges the format back to text. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: For both situations I create HTML messages. The settings forthe account is "Create HTML messaage". The editor appears with HTML design buttons. But when I send the message to the forum two problems happen. 1. If not formatting is used internally in the message. The messages is sent as plain text. Even I told the system to use HTML. 2. I If HTML formatting is used (bold, etc.) TB asks for the format Text, HTML or Text+HTML This is already possible with Emails! There is a setting in the configuration. But not for NNTP! Actual Results: Getting a question or postings sent as Text were I prefer HTML Expected Results: I would prefer some default behaviour as with Emails. So there should be a setting that allows me to define if I want a question, Text, HTML or HTML+Text, like it is with an email.
Priority: -- → P5
The setting in the configuration of TB mail.default_html_action exists. In case of NNTP postings there should be a setting mailnews.default_html_action or news.default_html_action. The IDs 0-3 can just be reused!
