Modifying Composer defaults / get rid of "moz-do-not-send="true"

[Joe Brockmeier]

I've been finding SeaMonkey Composer really nice to do first drafts in -- but I'd like to be able to customize tags a bit. In particular, it insists on inserting `moz-do-not-send="true"` into every link (a href) tag. 

There does not seem to be a way to customize this via preferences or about:config. Any tips on how one might zap this? It's not the worst thing in the world - I can strip it out before putting it into the site - but it's a minor annoyance that I'd like to fix if it's possible. 

If there's a more general guide somewhere to customizing Composer's behavior more extensively, I'd love to know about it. It's about the only surviving, maintained WYSIWYG HTML editor that doesn't throw in tons of unwanted <spans> and other gunk. 

Thanks,

This is a known issue and "comes from" the editor itself being used both
for Mail&News and Composer. This attibute was added for e-mail, and
indeed should not be added for Composer.

For reference: this is bug 1827146 [1], and was also mentioned in the
mozillaZine webforum [2].
