Appearantly, you can Shift+Click the Compose button in mail/news to compose a rich text email (html) instead of plain text (and the opposite way around if you are defaulting to html mail).
This is a very nice feature but not very obvious. There should be a small arrow button on the Compose window which would show you a small pop-up menu, allowing you to select "New Plain Text Message" or "New Rich Text (HTML) Message". (Or something similar.) I'm posting this because I would like to know if anyone knows of such a RFE or if I should file one. / David
