Just create a new mail and make sure the formatting bar is visible
(font, bold, underline, add table, etc.). I you place the curser in the
body of your message, the little button on the left will say "body", if
the curser is in your signature, trhe button says "preformat".
It is similar when selecting portions of forwarded or replied messages -
some places are body, others are preformat.
I think the whole idea on sounds good on paper, but it is confusing and
makes editing messages a mess.
I've had mails forwarded to me from lotus notes and when i reply and try
to edit the forwarded parts (preformat), it often happens when
navigating this portion with the curser keys, curser-down will cause the
cureser to go down 2-5 lines, then jump back to where it was, then down
2-5 lines again, aroiund-and-around it goes, just not further down to
where i want the damn curser.
Please get rid of (or SERIOUSLY fix) the stupid preformat function.
