766014 - when replying to existing email message format is plain text

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Carl]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1
Build ID: 20120614114901

Steps to reproduce:

I went into sent directory and clicked on reply to an email message


Actual results:

the format of the compose window, replied to message, was plain text


Expected results:

It should be in html, not plain text.  I have it set on every email account to use html instead of plain text.

This does not happen if I click on the write button to start a new email message, that compose window is in html format, not plain text.

I do have thunderbird set to send both types of email.

I know the email message is in plain text format because the formatting toolbar is not there.

The message you are replying to is in HTML or text?

Comment 3

[Carl]

The message is in HTML that I am replying to.

WFM. When I reply to an HTML message, an HTML reply is generated.

This happens to messages in the sent folder only.  Outside of it, all other folders work as they should when replying to messages.

Joe, does this reproduce for you?

I am still getting this on thunderbird 17.0.2.  I will test this again when version 18 is released.

Did you by any chance set your own domain to receive text-only messages? In TB settings -> Compose -> Sending Options, or for your own contact in one of your address books? Because your problem occurs when you basically respond to yourself (i.e. to your own e-mails in the sent folder).

Hi,

I did not set that option.  I have it set to send both html and plain text emails.

The email is also not in my address book.

I also cannot reproduce.

Carl, do you still see this?
