I'm increasingly disappointed with the formatting issues in the mail editor, as it is all over the place.
I can't set a default font size in pt (why?) - small, medium, large etc settings are meaningless. They look different at the receiving end than in my editor, they keep changing with each line, they don't easily override the text copied and pasted in, the arbitrary text increase/decrease is unreliable and unpredictable.
An email I sent just now finally looked ok - but when I saw it in the SENT folder - the lines were all in different size!! I send mainly professional (business) emails and simply cannot afford such a mess with text all over the place.
The font type again, is unreliable and changes unpredictably.
I've had the formatting issues with pretty much every email I have sent over the past week or so. With so much hassle, extra time and ongoing corrections with my emails, I'm seriously considering moving back to Outlook, in spite of spending several hours on setting up TB.
Could someone explain please why the most important element of the email client - the message editor - is so poorly designed, after so many years? Why there is no font setting in point size, like in all other email clients?
