How can I copy the format of one sentence or paragraph onto another sentence or paragraph?
When I copy and paste a section from one article to another, I want to change the format of the imported section to match the rest of the article. In Outlook or eM Client, I would use the paintbrush icon for this. How do I copy the format of a section in Thunderbird to another section?
Many thanks.

I'd be using Stationery to assert my preferred styles, and then use "Paste without formatting" to allow the formatting that is currently in force to be applied to pasted text, ignoring any already attached to the imported text. A weakness of Thunderbird in its native form is that it tends to forget to insert your chosen default font etc. The Stationery add-on cures this by making your requirement explicit.
Messages sent by Thunderbird users often appear in (IMHO) ugly serif text, which is Outlook's default, because Thunderbird forgets to say you chose a sans-serif font when composing.
Without Stationery, all your efforts at harmonizing your text may come to naught.

Thunderbird has no format painter.
Given that Outlook and eM Client have format painters, and that such an add-on would be in high demand, I'd think that somebody would have thought up one for Thunderbird by now.
Is there a work-around that we can use for Thunderbird?
Thanks.

Many thanks! You've solved the problem, though I hope that somebody comes up with a format painter add-on so we don't have to work around the problem.
Again, thanks.
