    FairEmail provides common text formatting (bold, italic, underline, text size and color) via a toolbar that appears after selecting some text.

    -

    A Rich text or Markdown editor would not be used by many people on a small mobile device and, more important, Android doesn’t support a rich text editor and most rich text editor open source projects are abandoned. See here for some more details about this.

    Alternatively, you can use Markdown. You can enable Markdown support via the three-dot overflow menu at the top right of the message editor.

    Please be aware that normal styling will be ignored when using Markdown, or, in other words, you can mix.

    Markdown is an experimental feature.
