Description of problem:
Detecting whether an email was received in plain text or in HTML, and
replying in the same format by default, would make life much easier
for those in mixed environments (corporate mail in HTML, Linux mailing
lists in text).

In Evolution's Tools -> Settings -> Composer Preferences -> General,
in the "Default Behavior" section, the "Format messages in HTML"
checkbox could be changed to say "Format *new* messages in HTML" and
then one more checkbox could say "When replying, use same format
(text/HTML) in which the message was received."

Hopefully this is not too hard to implement. Eudora does it and it is
a feature that saves tons of time as well as a few embarrassments
along the way.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.  This bug was
originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant
changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed.

Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security
fixes only.  Please install a still supported version and retest.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.
