This looks like bug 157346; Olivier Vit, if you agree, please mark this as a dupe of that. Note particularly bug 157346 comment 8 -- I believe that this behavior has been implemented intentionally. See also bug 187064, which is about the more serious issue of Mozilla sending as plaintext even when HTML elements such as images or tables are in the message.
Agreed is a dupe of 157346 Actually it works when doing Compose->Options->Format->Plan & Rich (Html) text But it seems that there is no room in Preferences to set this properly *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 157346 ***
