 Weird. Please open a bug for this, because I don't have time to look at it
now and risk forgetting about it. Please mention if you use external editor
or not (I suppose no?) and if this happens for new message as well or only
reply/forward.

 Believe me, this is possible. I used it for the last 5 years or so and am
typing this in vim in fact.

 This looks related to the above problem. The trouble is that I've never
seen this happen so far. Do you use "always use it" option or start the
external editor manually?

 I sympathize but I really don't see what can be done about this. If the
message comes in HTML and HTML only, Mahogany can only show it as HTML.

 What could be done is adding support for text/enriched or text/rtf
or whatever else but, again, this wouldn't chaneg anything for HTML. I
wonder how other people in your organization deal with this?

 Well, it's a plain text search after all... There shouldn't have been many
matches so it is probably quite simple to glance over all of them.

EV>  Would this be a bug or a feature request,

 Enhancement but this is not really important. Some bugzilla fields
curiously lack orthogonality and I never understood how were you supposed
to use priority/severity anyhow.
