Description

Steps to reproduce

The default editor mode (for new, provisioned) mail accounts is set to plaintext.

This destroys e-mail formattings and just isn't usual in the current day and age, since every mail client defaults to HTML-Richtext emails.

Expected behavior

When a new account is provisioned, set it to richtext.

Actual behavior

When a new account is provisioned, it is set to plaintext.

Mail app version

1.17.7

Database

MariaDB

Research direction

Trace the account-provisioning flow responsible for the default editor mode, using the reported plaintext behavior as the starting point. Done means newly provisioned mail accounts default to richtext while existing account behavior is preserved; add or update coverage for that provisioning behavior.
