Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird
The current policy for choosing the format of a new message doesn't match my need at all. Wether my recipient prefers HTML or plain text depends on the content I'm sending. I can't choose a generic rule. I would prefer: 1. default rule is plain text format (or HTML if prefered) 2. when clicking on "create a new message" we could also select the below alternatives: . "create a new HTML message" . "create a new plain text message" 3. possibly change the format while writing the message because you may think about the format after writing the message. Step 3 is a wish. Step 2 is mandatory for any email client.
