THANK YOU THANK YOU TERRY R. WOULD EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE READ HIS RESPONSE. "Moz clients require at least one HTML element to send as HTML". My request is to have an option that changes the Options -> Format default from "Auto-Detect" to "HTML". So that it will require no HTML to send as HTML. I suppose that someone can say "I disagree, I believe the default option should be Auto-Detect". and you have your opinion, and I have mine (athough if things were reversed, I would yield so that everyone can have things as they want). But please, can we stop the discussions that say "SM doesn't convert HTML to plain text" (see Terry R's response above, it does) "You shouldn't want you HTML to go out as HTML unless it needs to be, and here are some examples where it doesn't matter" (I do want it, and I have examples where it does matter). 1) I've established what Options -> Format -> Auto-detect does. 2) I've established that there is no way to change the behavior without workarounds of various painfulness (hand-select Options -> Format -> HTML every time, add a signature with sufficient HTML in it, etc). 3) I've politely requested a way to change the default from Auto- Detect to "Rich (HTML) Text". No offense to all, and I understand that some may not agree that my request should be granted, but I think I've proved that it's a valid request. So if you want to continue discussion on how to implement, or (I suppose, sigh) whether to implement, that's great, but can I please stop proving that the issue exists?
