Comment 91 for bug 10883

Perhaps the problem lies in that Mozilla has the HTML/Plain Text prefs set on a
"per account" basis. Other email clients I have used make this a "global"
setting for all accounts. In Mozilla, if you have an account set for plain text
and want HTML for a message you can do it with CHIFT+COMPOSE. But, there are
times when I'll be in the middle of typing a message and only then realize the
need for HTML formatting. With Outlook Express or Calypso (my current email
client) for example I can just click on a pull-down menu and switch between
Plain Text and HTML "on the fly." With Mozilla, I have to copy my message to the
clipboard, close the compose window, open a new one with the SHIFT+COMPOSE
option, and then paste my message into the new window.
