Description christitze 2011-05-27 09:57:29 UTC 
Since 3 years you can't create HTML-messages with different fonts in them. I really wanted to go from Thunderbird to Evolution with GNOME 3 as it is integrated very well into the rest of the Desktop-experience.
But after 3 years of using Thunderbird I come back and have to see that one can't change the fonts of the email's he is writing in the year2011? WTF guys, what is this? Every other email-client supports it, why doesn't Evolution then?

Every stupid email-client can do it, so why can't Evolution, a great application which is perfectly integrated into GNOME and which supports all the other features a normal user needs?

C'mon people, we're writing the year 2011 and everybody wants to be able to change the fonts in emails.

PLEASE IMPLEMENT THIS ASAP, PLEASE. Everybody knows you won't, but why? Do I really need to switch to KDE just because of the email-application?

*sigh*  Politely worded enhancement request.  We need to drop GtkHtml for WebKit first.  That's scheduled for later in the year.  Then and only then will we look at composer enhancements.
