How can get "Edit/Mail & Newsgroups/Composition/defaults for Html" to work?
"Edit/Mail & Newsgroups/Send Format/Send in HTML is checked.
All newsgroups and emails default to plain small text.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
I think we're all missing something here, like what you're talking about. What's this got to do with "Book recommendation"??
I'm consulting my crystal ball, though, and it says that you're trying to send HTML messages to a newsgroup or mailing list (hopefully the PHP one), right? And you're wondering why it comes across as plain text, right? And your great-grandmother had white..err, wait, wrong crystal ball.
Anyhow... plain text is the preferred method of sending to newsgroups and mailing lists, especially this one. HTML is usually stripped (along with attachments) before it's posted. HTML messages are become bloated with all of the markup and can present security/privacy issues depending upon the code and the viewers email client.
Bottom line: use plain text.
