What does the “bar” on the left side translate to? How does the receiver see the bar and quoted text?
How do I work with this “bar?” If I have a paragraph of the sender’s text I want to break up into multiple pieces, so I can inline respond to specific sentences, the “bar” stays there when I hit return in the text, and there’s no apparent way to get rid of it. i.e., there’s no apparent way to break out of “quote” mode.
This is frustrating enough that I’ve taken to composing all replies in notepad++ and copy/paste into eM Client …
Can we get a better compose/reply mode for plain text? Can it look like plain text, so we know what the result will look like, rather than “mimicking html formatting but it’s sent in plain text?”
Frustrating! I do the same as you and also use Notepad++
And
I do not believe it is possible to dictate the appearance of a sent email as this is dependant upon the way that the receiving client is configured.
When I have a specific requirement of an explicit format display I use PDF.
I created a sleekplan feature request around being able to compose and read plain text messages in specific styles (e.g. a fixed width font).
Please feel free to comment and upvote it if you like. It will definitely make it easier than composing in notepad and copypasting!
The system is blocking me from posting a link to sleekplan here so you’ll have to go to the em blog, go to sleekplan, and find the feature request to comment or vote on it.
