83412 - Save as Draft or Template won't save the Options|Format selected

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[esther]

Using build 2001-05-25 on win, mac and linux if you compose a mail msg and then
select an option format then save as draft or template the format is not saved
with the draft or template.  When you bring it up to edit it and send it, it
sends in the in the preference default html/plain.  
Note: I thought I wrote a bug already for this but I can't find it. Sorry if
it's a dup

1. Launch App
2. In preferences for mail & News under message format, select send in html & plain.
3. Create a mail message put in some HTML attributes and select Plain Text under
Options|Format.  Save the message as Draft
4. Open the draft message and send.

Result: the message sent in plain text and html.
Expected: per scott and jennifer, the message should have sent in plain text
because the plain text option was saved with the draft.

I am not sure we should save the option format into draft or template message.
Need to think about it...

I know this bug is old, very old, but may I must ask this question.

Why it called a template if it does not store settings such as:
format, security, priority, and return receipt?

Call it a To:Subject:Body saver.  Or a "You must still click all the options and settings but we'll save the to field for you" widget.  But don't call it a "Template", that's misleading.

You know what the most annoying part about this bug is?  All the information above is save to the template file but not read back in when the template is opened.

Ok.  I'm done with my rant.

I tried Draft and Template, looking at their source (with Ctrl+U):
AFAICT you are wrong and this bug title is right:
the option is not saved in the first place.

This is '4xp':
we are missing the "html=?" option !

'Plain Text only' Draft example:
[
X-Mozilla-Draft-Info: internal/draft; vcard=0; receipt=0; uuencode=0; html=1; linewidth=0
]
