On Mac OS X (snow leopard), when I start a new newsgroup post, I see,
- the signature of my IMAP account
- a HTML like formatting
- I cannot change HTML formatting or not on top of the window with the
radio buttons, but I _can_ via the context menu
- after switching to HTML newsgroup post, and switching back to plain
text, I get a different font (I would expect something like Courier,
because plain text), but I do have a strange line separation, which does
not occur in the plain text email composition window.
- switching the from line to a pop account and switching back removes the
erroneous signature, and changes the font to Courier, with email like line
separation.
Quite some bugs.

It seems there is still a lot to do on newsgroup posting in 10.10 final.
These are all regressions, by the way. Haven't seen these issues in 10.01
final.

I haven't got an IMAP account or sig set up in Opera.

The compose window appears in 'plain text' mode here.

Confirmed here; the 'radio buttons' are greyed out, but the right-click
menu offers the option.

None of those appear here. (I'm using Version 10.10 Build 4742 Platform
Linux System i686, 2.6.22.19-laptop-2mdv Qt library 3.3.8)

Always something still to be done ... :))
