User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; rv:50) Gecko

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have several accounts (e-mail boxes).
  2. Default acc is set to compose new message in plain text.
  3. Some other (non-default acc) is set to compose new message in HTML.
  4. Start create new e-mail (naturally with default acc).
  5. Change default e-mail in From field to desired.

Actual results:

  1. Nothing, e.g. plain text compose windows is still plain text.

Expected results:

  1. Swithing to HTML compose window.

Or, as requested previously, please add a button to compose window: "Switch plain text/HTML". It would resolve this and a number of similar problems.

Summary: New message composition in HTML/text format → Changing the From account in composer does not switch to the HTML/text format set for that mail account

Please be advised that I'd reported a problem in Windows client despite of my user-agent string.

The reverse is true. If we had a way to switch, it would be easy to do it automatically.
