Reply in HTML only if the original is in HTML
I use TB for work emails (often HTML) and open source participation (== patches). I am looking for an option to reply to patches in plain test and reply in HTML to whoever sent me an HTML. The closest is "Sending format" where "Automatic" is the closest.
When replying to plain text mails, I can accidentally press, for example, press "ctrl-b" which adds styling and makes TB send HTML a warning or indication that the reply suddenly became HTML <- this autoswitch is what I am trying to avoif as this becomes a problem with Linux mailling lists as those people hate HTMLs (for technical reasons).
So right now I have to keep the "Composition and Addressing" tab open to switch "Compose messages in HTML format" which is a bit ridiculous.
Is there a better way? Having an option in a folder would do, for example. Thanks,

Ignore 'Hector Zepeda' as this persons posts irrelevant comments.
If you have "Composition and Addressing" set as "Compose messages in HTML format"
When you click on 'Write' or 'Reply' this will auto open a Write message to use HTML.
If you press 'Shift' key and click on 'Write' or 'Reply' it will auto use the opposite of the settings and thus would be in Plain Text format.

There is also this setting which you may like to use:
Settings > Composition Scroll to 'Sending format' 'Automatic' If no styling is used in message, send Plain Text. Otherwise, send HTML with a Plain Text fallback.
The "automatic" format is problematic as it is not always obvious if styling was used (say, by accident) but holding a shift is actually a better option, thanks!
