I have a strange issue. My SeaMonkey v2.33's e-mail composer keeps

missing something? Or did I run into a bug?
What do you have in Edit > Preferences > Mail & Newsgroups > Send
Format? It sounds like that may be set to "Convert the message to plain
text". Or perhaps some of the domains you're sending to are listed under
"plain text domains".
"Ask me what to do (Mail prompts you to choose a format)" and no domains
listed in both lists.
Same as me then.
You probably want either "Ask me what to do" (you'll get prompted every
time you send an HTML message) or "Send the message in both plain text
and HTML" (so anyone reading as plain text get a reasonably readable
version).
If I have it in HTML format, then shouldn't it just send in HTML format
due to no domains.
I think it should prompt. The recipient is not listed as being able to
receive HTML (no preferred format specified in the address book, and
domain is not listed under HTML domains) and your option for that
scenario is "ask me what to do". If the recipient was in your address
book and set as preferring HTML format, or their domain was in the list
for HTML, then I think it should just send as HTML without prompting.
However, it never asks me what to do. Note these are
NEW e-mails sent to e-mail addressess not listed in my addressbooks and
domain lists.
Well, that is interesting. I usually send plain text anyway, and only
occasionally send HTML, so may not have noticed a change. Just tried a
couple of experiments:
1. Start a message in HTML format (shift+click compose, since I have it
default to plain text), type a short message but don't actually apply
any formatting and click send. It sends as plain text without prompting.
2. Start a message in HTML format, type a message, colour one word red
and click send. It prompts for whether to send as plain text, HTML or both.
So it looks like it automatically sends as plain text if you don't make
any use of HTML formatting. Does that match your experience? Or is it
discarding formatting even if you have applied some?
Mark.
