Description Nicolò Chieffo 2009-01-26 21:32:41 UTC 
Currently empathy lacks a rich input bar over the input text box. You can add some buttons for blod, italic, underlined, coloured text, emoticons, send files.
Also a bigger text box (3 lines) should be better, maybe...
Tell me what you think

Empathy doesn't support rich text at the moment
Comment 2 Mihai Capotă 2009-10-26 10:13:33 UTC 
How about undo/redo? I really miss this feature.
Comment 3 Mihai Capotă 2009-10-26 10:18:18 UTC 
Please disregard last comment, I found the right bug report, it's bug 585876.
Comment 4 Sumana Harihareswara 2009-11-19 00:00:59 UTC 
Bold
Italic
Underline
Colored text
Highlighted text
Hyperlinked text

The Send File button should be a separate bug/enhancement request, as should the emoticon list/dropdown selection.

GUI controls for rich text would suggest implementing keyboard shortcut equivalents as well.
