How do you enable auto-format automatically? I know that within the
message it's CTRL+SHIFT+F. But can it be arranged that, whenever a
message opens (reply, new post, forward -- whatever), the auto-format
feature is already automatically switched on?

Which one is that, Allie? Where could I find it? I think I need it,
too. Right now I'm using Courier New Bold (not-bold is ugly) and I'd
be willing to trade it for a better-looking one.

Here I don't follow you. What's selfish is sending html messages and
cluttering other people's mailboxes with unnecessary kilobytes and
eventually megabytes.
Yet what I choose to view on my own screen is solely my own business,
isn't it? It can't inconvenience anyone, as long as the posts I'm
sending off are all set to plain text, which they are.
I agree, though, that this issue is low-priority compared to the main
window frames that won't and won't stick or all the buggy keyboard
shortcuts.
