Description Christoph Wickert 2011-07-06 18:30:01 UTC
When saving a mail as draft in evolution 3.x, all text, no matter if it was regular text or say lists becomes preformatted text.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compose a mail in plain text. Write a long paragraph and a bulleted list.
2. Save the mail as draft.
3. Open the mail again in the composer.
4. Add some words to the long paragraph

Actual results:
Lines become longer than the usual 72 characters because text was changed to preformatted. If you add a single word at the top of the long paragraph, you have to do all the ling breaks again.
The bulleted list was changed to preformatted, too. The bullets have been replaced with stars and the indention has become bigger. While it should be 4 characters it is 8.

Expected results:
When opening the mail in the composer it should be just the way you saved it. The composer should recognize lists etc and show them accordingly in the dropdown in the toolbar. The 'translation' to preformatted text should only take place when the mail is actually being sent. All this worked fine i evolution 2.x

Affected version.
evolution-3.0.2-3.fc15
