Email messages become plain text even though I have HTML set up.
I always CC myself whenever I send email so I have the sent messages in my inbox as well. I noticed that my email messages, even though sent as HTML, shows up as plain text. It only becomes HTML if I reply to an email from someone else who sent by HTML. If I was replying to a plain text, I understand that mine becomes plain text as well, but how come a new message I send also becomes plain text? I checked over and over but I am set up as HTML.
Can anyone give me advice on how to fix this? What am I doing wrong?

Hi finitarry,
Thanks for the link. I've rechecked all the factors on the kb but I'm definitely all set for HTML.
The problem actually comes and goes; I don't quite have the statistics of possible causes of this yet.
Do the affected messages have content that requires or demands HTML? I believe that by default, if a message doesn't require HTML, Thunderbird will opt to send it plain text.
This add-on:
http://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/quoteandcomposemanager-en.html
offers a choice to force HTML when message content doesn't need it.
"10) option to send always mails in HTML format, when you compose with this format, also if the message have no element that requires HTML (by default Thunderbird in this case convert the message in plain text);"
