Some received emails need to be answered inline. They could be HTML or text. The received email is almost always black text, so I want my reply to be in red, blue, maybe green, while the received text is in its original color. I've tried various setting changes in Tools/Options/Composition & Display. I also have my View/Text Encoding set to Unicode. thanks, Ron

There's an option in the mailtweak add-on, Permanent Pen, that provides this feature. On the installation page, it's stated to be compatible with TB 3, but I tried it on TB 52 & 56b and the pen option works - although I can't guarantee all the other options do.

To get it to install in a current version of TB, you will first have to install the Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks add-on.

To install, drag the Download Now button and drop it onto Tools/Add-ons/Extensions in TB. Then install the mailtweak add-on xpi file from the installation page with the same drag-and-drop method.

Thanks for your suggestions. I installed both, but the Add-on page kept saying it was incompatible, somehow the current version (for TB3) of Permanent Pen reverted to the older version (for TB2), so I deleted it and reinstalled the current version. I have the same problem--It is says disabled with the yellow warning triangle.

I checked about.config and extensions.check-compatibility.app-version is set to 52.3.0. extensions.check-compatibility.saved.52.3;false thru extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly;false are set to false. The extension.mailtweak do appear in about.config.

maybe I need to try an older version. This used to be a standard "feature" a few years ago. Ron

When you say it's 'disabled', is the 'enable' button not visible? See the attached picture which shows how mailtweak is displayed in the Add-ons Manager. The second picture shows the Options, and the third one shows PP in use.

There's another add-on, Highlighter, that you may find easier to install, and provides a similar capability.

Your pix ia what is what shows ONLY after it is initially loaded. Once I close/open TB it is no longer showing. The checkCompatibility Add-on is enabled--there is no warning above it. See below or attached (I'm not sure which one--maybe both). I'll try the Highlighter and see what happens. Thx

I hate to be a pita--but my TB does not look like the one on the Highlighter web page. I don't have the toolbar shown, and all my toolbars are enabled.

I'll just live with >> and >>> etc.

Thanks for your help, Ron

Are you composing in HTML format, and have the Formatting Bar toolbar (View/Toolbars) enabled?

more options

No I wasn't using HTML--I was not sure I needed to be--dumb me. I changed the Account Setting to HTML and now I get the Toolbar and I can select the color. But nothing I do results in highlighted words. I write a few words, scroll over those words, click on the Highlighter pencil, choose Red. The icon has a Red line. But my highlighted words are not highlighted. Surely there is some combination I haven't tried, but I don't know what. Maybe I'm too used to Word. Highlight drag across what you want to highlight, click the button with the color chosen--and bang--you selection is highlighted.

I can't say why it isn't working for you, but for others looking at the issue, I've attached a sample of the add-on in use here.
