[Bug 385148] [NEW] switch between html and plain text when creating a new message

[Jérôme]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

The current policy for choosing the format of a new message doesn't
match my need at all.

Wether my recipient prefers HTML or plain text depends on the content
I'm sending. I can't choose a generic rule.

I would prefer:
1. default rule is plain text format (or HTML if prefered)
2. when clicking on "create a new message" we could also select the below alternatives:
  . "create a new HTML message" 
  . "create a new plain text message"
3. possibly change the format while writing the message because you may think about the format after writing the message.

Step 3 is a wish.

Step 2 is mandatory for any email client.
