How to format text within the Thunderbird Conversations view?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1053 / 2 Years ago, sun, march 27, 2022, 6:46:15

I am trying to make a move from gmail to my own email, and for this I am testing Thunderbird on Ubuntu. Since I really like the gmail style I installed the Conversations view extension. So far so good.

Today I was writing an email though, and I could not find any formatting options. When I switch off the conversations view I've got the formatting options again, but with the Conversations view enabled I can't see them. Also, normal key-combinations like Ctrl+b and Ctrl+i don't do anything.

Does anybody know how I can make text bold or italic in the conversations view?

All tips are welcome!

I'm the author. Unfortunately, the inline reply feature of Thunderbird Conversations only provides support for a plaintext reply, not an HTML one. This would require significantly more work, for which I lack the time and the motivation.

Thanks,
