Outgoing message format can't be changed easy from ASCII to HTML. A checkbox or an entry in context menu would be great.

upps...where is the rest of summary?

Try Options->Format->... Invalid anyone?

Well, the bug is kinda invaild and kinda not. The summary says: can't be changed easily - and while the option is right there, it may be right there in the wrong menu. Anyone think it would be easier/better to have the HTML/plaintext switch in "Format" rather than "Options - > Format"?

It's not clear if this bug is about the composition format or the send format! Reported, can you elaborate?

I mean the creation of a mail. It should be easy for the user to change the preferred outgoing format [ASCII|HTML].

Ok, you can revers you default setting when creating a new message by pressing the shift key at the same time you press the new msg button. This is also working for reply, replyall and forward. Does that answer your concern?

Jean-Francois, yes FOR ME it is okay but do you think any new user of Mozilla will ever find that feature? Better would be a fix the HELP | shortcuts | contect menu ...

will see what we can do...but that's not a priority for now

Just my two-pence worth. I frequently want to change format, for instance to better formatting when I want. This is such an easy thing to so in other products. Why not mozilla? That's whilst typing, to change the format for just this message. It can't be too hard to do with, say, a right-click option...

please read comment #6, you can change format per message using the shith key...

Duping to a more developed RFE for the same thing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 140800 ***
