Feature Requests for Mail & News
"Wishlist"
1. The ability to use any font on the computer when composing a HTML 
e-mail message, instead of Helvetica, Times, or Courier.
2. Return Receipts. These existed in Mozilla/Netscape 4 but are not in 
Mozilla 5 or Netscape 6.
3. E-mail Address Auto-collect: I have specified HTML as the default 
sending format for e-mail, yet address auto-collect marks each new entry 
as a Plain Text recipient. Please change this so that if HTML is my default 
sending format, then Auto-collect will also mark each new card in the 
address book as HTML.
4. HTML is my default mail sending format, but the messages are sent 
plain text unless the recipient is in the address book, marked as a HTML 
recipient, or unless I apply a formatting option from the toolbar. Please 
make HTML automatic if HTML is specified as default.

The first request is covered by bug #26288.
The others may be duplicates as well (I'm not sure).

#2 is bug 16241

#3 and #4 should be filed as two separate bugs.  Please do that and post those 
bug numbers in this bug.  Those issues are a lot more likely to be addressed if 
they are split up.
