Stefan,

Is the below how you want automatic HTML to work?  It looks like tb decided my 
reply should have some html
characteristics even though I was replying to a text message.
 
Daniel,
  
Well, it means adding a new option. Why do you think it's needed?

Well, for instance because you may be sending to a mailing list
 where HTML is not accepted or not appreciated (hint, hint), or
 because you are sending a message to a server that will process it
 automatically, but only if it's in plain text. Or simply because you
 as the user want to be in control of how your messages go out. Some
 people don't even consider html messages to be email because
 technically, the html part is an attachment. Or they hate Microsoft
 who forced html (and so, lots of fraud, deception and malware due to
 manipulated URLs) on email users. There are many reasons! :)

Sounds like the old "I hate HTML" argument.  HTML really, really isn't going to 
go away, no matter how
you discourage it.  There are only a few decent clients still around that don't 
do html, Sylpheed for one the
last time I looked.  How long do you suppose they can hold out that way?
 
but pasting/inserting a picture should change format, the logic is pretty 
simple here.

Good.

While I have you: Do these "Up and Running" messages serve any useful purpose 
for you? If you do not need them, it would save a lot of traffic if we stop 
sending them.

Yes, they are useful - it's much better than just a silence because we know 
that people actually tried to use it and it didn't fail to start  :-)

But that's precisely when a beta tester should send you a bug
 report! Anyway, I'll just keep ignoring those messages :-)

I remember some years ago, getting a reply to my first in line U&R message 
saying, "Thanks, now I can go home and go to bed."
He didn't want to do that until he was sure the new beta would fly.  Subsequent 
bug reports could be handled in the morning.
How many U&R's you get being a percentage thing.  Desired is minimal, I went 
back to the previous version, and maximal, ok here.
 
Best,

-Daniel-
