Description Srikrishan 2008-11-01 05:31:49 UTC 
While composing a message you do not have any option to change the font. This sometime is a turn-off.

This happened when I was showing evolution to one of my friends who uses windoz, while I was editing an email he asked me how to change the fonts and I had no solution :-(

I am not supporting MSoutlook here but as far as the font support is considered outlook is better. 

A coupling between evolution and openoffice can help us in making the composer the "best email composer". Not sure about the feasibility but Maybe you can launch an embedded oowriter/calc in the composer so that the user has all the things he can think of in an email composer.

BTW, I hoped that 2.24.1 would have this feature but :-(

Version 2.4.x is ancient history.
Also, this is a duplicate.
