892382 - make html bugmail look better in gmail

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

i thought we already had a bug for this ..

html bugmail in gmail doesn't contain any of the styling, and the comment text is too small.

i've figured out how to fix both issues (although the comment text will be 20% larger on real email clients); patch soon.

most of this is just moving from <style> to element style attributes.
the only visible change is <pre> tags are now "font-size: 120%".

The 20% larger text on real email clients is annoying :( I have no idea how to avoid it though.

Oh, I just thought of something. If Gmail doesn't respect <style> elements, we can add something like:

<style>
pre { font-size: 100% !important; }
</style>
