Please, attach a screenshot of your "Composition & Addressing" page from the configuration of the account in question. Also, make sure you sent our the email as HTML (not as plain text). Also, what's the current setting of View/Message Body As? Could you also attach example email message which present the issue? Thank you in advance Package:thunderbird-3.1.6-1 When we new a message in the thunderbird,we can select the message format by click Options->Format->Auto-Detect(Deault),Plain Text Only,Rich Text(HTML) Only,Plain and Rich (HTML) Text.The default setting for my thunderbird is Auto-Detect,if I select Plain and Rich (HTML) Text,re-step 2-3 in the bug description,I got an email with the correct alignment. Anyway If I create a message with some Center alignment text and Right alignment text and set the Options->Format to Auto-Detect,the thunderbird should detect the correct format for the user rather then losing the text format setted by the user.

(In reply to comment #8) > Created attachment 467504 [details] > Composition & Addressing.png from the archive From account settings, not general Preferences, but that's OK. From the attached email examples it is obvious what's going on here. Problem lies in Options/Format/Auto setting, which is very confusing and in my opinion poorly design setting. The heuristics by which Thunderbird decides whether the message should be sent as HTML or as plain text is just poor. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584363 and especially http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/can_i_completely_turn_off_the_buggy_auto_detect_on_composition for longer discussion of these problems. Unfortunately, I don't think this is the issue we should fix here, it should be resolved somehow upstream. Closing as UPSTREAM. If you want me to file a bug upstream, suggest what should be the bug about, I will do it, but honestly I am not sure. |
