The question is whether this really means that messages are send as
html by default. If you compose as html and send plain text you get
the behaviour that bold text is automatically surrounded by *, italic
by / and underline by _. Further thunderbird converts unnumbered and
numbered lists IIRC. So in this case composing as html is indeed a
good option that anybody wants, right?
You see that thunderbird really sends mail as html too by default?
Maybe this is another setting?
