Using Thunderbird I'm dismayed that there appears to be no way to highlight individual words or phrases with a background color, as can be done in many email web interfaces on line, certainly those of AOL and Hotmail. All I find possible using Thunderbird is font color, not highlight. Is there no way to color highlight chosen words within the compose field using Thunderbird??

Thunderbird comes as a basic email client. There are lots of add ons for all the fancy stuff people like to do.

Install this add on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/highlighter-222207/?src=search
