Comment 38 for bug 119441

Just wanted to make a note, you know how I love to ask for the moon, in this bug. The way forward, as I see it, on formatting options like this is to be able to change the formatting in the composer window instead of choosing the format before.

I understand there will be difficulties related to this method as the user may have mixed their reply in with the message already. However I think the choice is a lot easier for people because it's more visible when you hit reply and see that the formatting is incorrect. With the current 'choose before replying system' a user would have to close the incorrectly formatted reply and open a new one with the correct formatting.
