I use TB (v68+) for three email accounts, Two are business and I would like to "assign" a different default font to each of them. I cannot find a way to do these using Manage Identities. Is this possible?

Chosen solution

Default fonts are defined per profile, so you could create a second profile with one of the accounts. Otherwise, creating message templates with different fonts is a possibility. But keep in mind that recipients can set their own fonts for display purposes, which is why it's usually recommended to keep the defaults in Options/Composition. The settings in Options/Display/Formatting & Fonts are for the fonts displayed in your received and composed messages.

So, it's possible to set different display fonts or composition fonts with separate profiles, but doing it for the latter is no guarantee the result is seen by recipients.
