I'm using TB 31.5.0. When composing a new HTML message, I'm not seeing a way to easily change fonts, font size, bold, etc. I have "compose messages in HTML format" checked. My wife says she thinks this feature used to be there in earlier versions of TB.

Thanks, Thom

Chosen solution

Is your formatting Bar turned on.

From the Menu Bar in a Write window select View-Toolbars and check.

No menu bar? Press the alt key.
