[dev] HTML composition

[John Morrissey]

FWIW, I tried the new, improved HTML composition on a few different web
browsers; here's what I came up with:

Mozilla 1.6 Mac, 1.5 Windows, IE 6 Windows, Firebird 0.7 Windows: Everything
works great, but backslashes in my signature are stripped out in the
plaintext part (only - not in the HTML part).

IE 5.2 Mac: message body is run through htmlentities(), and the link changes
to 'Switch to plain text composition,' but HTML widgets never show up. When
I hit 'Send Message,' IE looks like it's trying to connect, but never does
(nothing in my web server access logs and netstat shows no connections from
that machine).

Safari 1.2 (v125) Mac: When I click 'Switch to HTML composition,' I get
redirected back to the plain text composition page and another copy of my
signature is added to the message body.

Chimera 0.6 Mac: HTML widgets show up, but the message body won't take the
focus. If I select the body with the 'Path:' widget at the bottom, none of
the HTML widgets have any effect. I probably shouldn't be surprised, since a
JavaScript warning pops up beforehand warning that HTMLArea probably won't
work with "Mozilla < 1.3."


The backslashes thing sounds like a bug in the MIME classes or in HTMLArea
someplace, but I probably won't have time to track it down for a few days.
