Comment 80 for bug 10883

Hi! You are receiving this message because you are cc'ed on Thunderbird's Bug 216132: Toggle mail compose between Plain text and HTML. As announced in comment 65, and in support of weirdkeen's most welcome initiative to finally tackle this bug (see comment 67), I'm duping this bug against bug 140800, which is the very same request per its current summary and content ("switch for plain text/html in compose window").

This bug 216132 currently has 52 votes (and 59 votes on bug 140800). Unfortunately bugzilla does not allow merging of votes along with duping, therefore:

-> PLEASE VOTE FOR BUG 140800 NOW so that your vote can be transferred to and counted for bug 140800.
To vote, click on the link [1] below, ensure the checkbox for bug 140800 is ticked and don't forget to confirm your vote with "Change My Votes" button at the bottom of your personal votes page. Tia.

Fyi, you'll probably be aware that TB is now maintained mostly by the volunteer community, so we need your help to keep TB going. Can you help in any of the following areas?
- bug triaging
- bug fixing
- documentation
- translation
- etc.

done.

still to be done, plus check for "dupes of dupes" and also re-dupe them to bug 140800.
