39 For me the composer does remember the last setting, however unless you use any
40 of the formatting options it sends the message as plain text.
41
42 For replying there's the option under Composer > General to "Reply or forward
43 using HTML if present". If I uncheck that it always quotes the original
44 message using plain-text so unless I use formatting it gets sent as text.

46 Am I missing something?
