User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120423130206
Steps to reproduce:
Forwarded a plain-text sent email. The selected email in the Sent mailbox had the "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed" header.
Actual results:
The new mail that opens in the Compose window is HTML, and the entire content which was plain-text format=flowed has been wrapped into a single PRE formatted HTML.
The style cannot be changed in the compose window, because changing it to "Body Text" or to "Paragraph" re-wraps everything into a single paragraph without any line break.
Expected results:
The plain text paragraphs should have been converted to HTML <P> paragraphs (or DIVs and BRs).
Or the forwarded email should remain plain/text, keeping it's original format=flowed property.
The only workaround seems to be:
- Select all the text and cut it (Ctrl-X)
- Change the style to Paragraph
- Paste it back "without formatting" (Shift-Ctrl-V)
Known issue, unfortunately no progress in the original bug report.
