No it doesn't, as I've learned after too hastily submitting a wishlist bug (#327011). The default is to *compose* as HTML, but to *send* as plain text, with such elements as boldface, bulleted lists and graphical smileys converted to plain text equivalents. HTML is used only for recipients specified in preferences as wanting to receive it. That's a really nice feature, IMO, but I wish it were less confusingly described. "Compose as HTML" seems naturally to imply "Send as HTML" to me. Apologies to any Thunderbird developers who may be reading for maligning their software. -- PJR :-)
