[opensuse] Thunderbird : mail to list without html
Hi, A while ago our company made a rule forcing users to send html-messages to correspondents. Now when I try to send a mail to a list, Thunderbird seems not to understand the setting in the address book. E.g. I indicated in my addressbook to sent ascii-messages to a test-user. When I click on "compose message" I get a screen with html-possibilities. When I enter a message and send it, the receiver gets a html-message. It does not help to send a message via the address-book, same problem. So what's the point of the configuration in the addressbook when Thunderbird does not use it. Or am I missing something ? Or is it the fact that I have a html-footer included that confuses Thunderbird ? I'm running OS12.2, Thunderbird 24.2.0.

I can switch HTML -> ASCII by holding the Shift key during pressing the reply button in Thunderbird. Does that work for you, at least as a test and workaround? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Nice trick! If I use it here, it switches to html instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)

Indeed! (I must teach that my grandson Max The Greatest.) Strange that Shift+Ctrl+R doesn't do the same...

Thanks, That works, even clicking reply-all with shift pressed does the trick. Thanks. Regards, Koenraad -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

On my Thunderbird, (24.2.0) installed from Opensuse repositories... Under Edit / Preferences / Composition Sending Options Button, Plain Text Domains tab, I simply enter opensuse.org as a plain text domain, and when I compose or reply it is always sent as plain text. There is a setting on the sending options window to allow you to force plain text when any of the recipients is listed in Plain Text domains tab. Set this to "Convert message to plain text". It doesn't matter how I compose, reply, or Reply to list, as soon as opensuse.org appears in one of the address entries, it converts to plain text. Same on windows machines. So instead of messing around with arcane keystrokes, why not find out why YOUR Thunderbird does not behave this way? -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

By the way, this *works even if I intentionally* try to start a message as HTML. As soon as I hit Sent it gets converted and I get a warning -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Bob, unfortunately, THN (This Helps Not) ;-) I tested it by sending a mail to my home-account after adding my home-domain to the "plain-list" and the mail is still sent in html. Thanks anyway.

You may have missed the Pull-down setting on that Send Options page that offers Convert to HTML. Also be sure you check the copy that arrived in your Home Account. The copy stored in your Send Mail folder may still look like html, but the copy received by your home-account will not be html. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, I did some more tests. It seems the only way to have it like *I* want is to use shift-click. If I set "convert to plain text", every "unknown" address will get a plain-text message, which is not what I/the company wants. The other settings there, except "ask what to do", seem to produce html or html/plain-text no matter what is configured elsewhere (plain-text domain or addressbook). I know what to do to get plain-text, so for me the case is closed. But thanks anyway, I learned a few thing about Thunderbird.
