I just took my first foray into mail-news (using a debug build from this
morning), set up an account (without giving POP info), hit "New Msg", typed my
own email address into the "To:", and sent myself a message. I don't think I
changed any mailnews prefs before. I read my email (with mailx, since reading
mail is one of those things I think shouldn't have a UI - I'm old fashioned),
and what do I see? HTML. To be exact, I see:
From dbaron@fas.harvard.edu Sat Dec 18 23:01:40 1999
Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999
23:01:36 -0500
From: David Baron <dbaron@fas.harvard.edu>
User-Agent: Mozilla 5.0 [en-US] (Linux; I)
To: dbaron@fas.harvard.edu
Subject:
Test
<html><head></head>
<body>Test</body>
</html>
Mail shouldn't be sent as HTML by default. This is incompatible with lots of
other systems. If Mozilla is to be a "polite" user-agent on the Internet, it
won't let newbies accidently shoot HTML mail off all over the place without
knowing that they could be antagonizing their recipients.

This also happens when I click a mailto: link to myself on my own webpage.
That's bad too :-(

We plan to use similar (if not exactly the same) HTML sending rules as 4.x does.

I reopen this bug for tracking the change I plane to do about the default
behavior when sending an HTML message (see bug 17072 for more info).

Joining cc list, since not being able to send plaintext easily has been one of
the issues stopping me from using mozilla mail.

I mean fixed.
No, every time you send an HTML message and if one of the user isn't defined in the address book (for now, only
personnal addressbook and history addressbook) or the property "Send email as plain text (no html)" is on, we will
popup a dialog asking you what to do. You can change the behavior by changing the preference <Mail and Newsgroup/
Formatting> or by selecting a format from the compose window menu options/format.

This bug is dependent of bug 28093 (unable to edit Address book), in which the
fix is in tomorrow's build. Will re-test this bug using tomorrow's build.

This bug contains many scenarios. I am in the process of testing each of them on
all 3 platforms.
When sening HTML message, (using the HTML composer), HTML dialog should come
up..
1. if the receipient is NOT listed in the Address Book
2. Or the Receipient in the Address Card with "Send Mail as Plain Text" turned
on,
3. Or in the Compose window, select Option|Format Ask Me.

...and only if the format pref. say "Ask Me" (menu
edit/preferences/mail and newsgroup/formatting).

Mac (2000-02-21-07 M14)
Reopen bug Summary: For scenario #2 mentioned above, all 3 platforms work fine.
For scenario #1: Linux works fine. But for Mac and Win_nt 4.0: HTML dialog
does not come up when receipient is NOT listed in the Addr. Book
Steps to reproduce:
1. From Address Book Collected Address, remove fenella@nsmail-2
2. Set preferences/mail and newsgroup/formatting to "Ask Me"
3. Using the HTML editor, compose a message and address it to fenella@nsmail-2
4. Click Send.
Actual result: HTML dialog does not come up. Message was sent in the HTML format
on Win32. But on Mac, I got a empty content (bug 28704), separate bug.
Expected result: HTML dialog should come up.
Re-open the bug.
This problem occurs on Mac and Win_nt 4.0. Linux works fine.

I'm tempted to add a dogfood nomination since I won't risk embarassing myself
using the browser for email if this bug exists. But I don't normally use
it anyway, so I won't add the nomination.
