A;ll your mates might have their systems set up to convert all the

I agree. I am afraid there is a whole generation that simply knows
nothing about newsgroups.
If we all filter out the google groupers, we will never have an

Yes - putting stuff in every message that forces the converter to say send in HTML is a common workaround that a lot of people do (see the original thread I referenced at the top of this one). Having a fancy HTML signature also works as a workaround. In fact, it looks like the workarounds are going to be the solution because no one wants to make things right.

Sad thing that 8-} /j Spammers would love it if the author could pre-determine how the recipient reads email. The fact is, the author has little or NO control over how the recipient will read his messages. Some programs (Pine comes to mind) don't read HTML at all, they are plain text only. Most modern email or news programs can display either plain text or HTML, but at the recipients decision. Mozilla products allow you a choice even in HTML, original HTML or simple HTML. There is no means of you ensuring anyone to read it the way you intended, they will read it in the means they have preset their email (or news or even web browser) to display. That may be plain text, html, simple html, html with javascript, without javascript, with their choice of fonts (or not), in colour or in black or white, the choice is up to the reader, the recipient, NOT the author.

I wish Mozilla did allow me a choice. No matter how hard I try to have messages go, by default, in HTML.

I'm getting tired of using options-format-HTML every time i want to be sure a message arrives looking like i sent it.

Re: Request for Seamonkey 2.0
Hi Ray-net - actually a good Email, as you confirmed my issue - Thanks. However, your conclusions are incorrect... if you don't use any html gadget when composing your mail... the mail is sent in plain text. I absolutely agree - thanks! In this case, there is no need of a conversion, because there is nothing to convert. SM1.1.14 is working perfectly I absolutely disagree. This is not a true statement at all. To prove it, do a message in html (text only, like you did before), but make the sentences long, and put in several paragraph breaks, and maybe a couple of numbered lists. Use CR only to end a paragraph (2 of them), and to end a list item. Then send it and see what it looks like after SM does it's conversion. Many of the CRCR will be converted to CR, removing the blank line between paragraphs. And sometimes a line will get a CR inserted randomly. You CANNOT see this with a short message, but boy does SM mess up the long ones. thanks for your interest. /j ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Request for Seamonkey 2.0
Hi 1) I obviously cannot send you a sample.txt file for an INTERMITTENT issue. 2) We both agree that, for example, if I write a message in Comic Sans MS, and want my messages to go out IN THAT FONT (because that's the way I like people to see my messages), there's no way to do that without a) making sure there's some bold, or something that convinces SM that HTML is required b) having to do Options-Format-Rich HTML Only, for EVERY MESSAGE I would argue that reason #2 is enough to provide an option to disable auto-conversion. Suppose I just want every message to go in HTML because I want people to see the message on the other end just the way I wrote it? Not converted to boring, monospaced text. Further, I would suggest that if you write a lot of multi-paragraph Email with no special formatting, that if you look through your sent folder, you will find at least a few emails with paragraph-breaks missing. I did this exercise this morning and found 8 out of about 40 in the last week. I could send you one, but a) you're not getting the source message, so you don't have a test case b) Because the problem is intermittent, it may not fail for you. Still, I think the bad conversion is a secondar issue. Consider this: If Seamonkey provides a per-message option Options-Format-Rich HTML, why is it so wrong for me to ask for an option that makes this the -default- selection? Motives are secondary. Please don't close this issue, please treat it. Thanks! /j Sorry i did not have any problem - all is perfect If you cannot sent me a sample.txt file for testing, i will close this issue. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

That way the sub thread would have been moved to mozilla.general, the appropriate place for off topic discussions, rather then muddying your original thread.

Otherwise, simply reply to the last post that you think has offered you any help. I am afraid I am a loss to help you as well. I generally both view and compose in plain text, so I may not be the best tester for this issue. However, in the testing I have done with html posting and reading, all seems to be working fine.
