9512 - Plain text compose window should not have HTML widgets

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[fenella]

Linux (1999-07-09-08 m8) and previous builds
Steps:
1. Set the prefs50.js file to contain this:
   user_pref("mail.identify.id1.compose_html", false)
2. From Messenger, click on New Msg to bring up the compose window
3. Type some text, use the bold tag as well, it shows text is bold when using
bold tag
4. Send the message out and view the message source code in Nova, it is a plain
text, which is good. However..
Actual result: The compose window is working as a plain text window,but with
HTML widgets displayed like a HTML compose window.
Expected result:  HTML widgets should not be displayed in the plain text
window.  It is confusing to users.

It is lunch time. I will test win32 and Mac later.

I think Win32 has this problem too.  Reassign to ducarroz.

As far I can remember, We wont hide the html toolbar but we will disable it. I need to check with UI folk for a
confirmation.

I think we should hide the toolbar.
People aren't going to be toggling this very much,
they'll pick one way or the other, why make plain
text people look at this thing?

I agree.  Formatting Toolbar should be hidden if the user has the plain text
preference set.  Sol agrees.
