I am trying to insert formatted HTML text, e.g. text in bold & blue.

I am trying to use inline CSS but it does not seem to work:

<p style="color:blue;"><b>[[FROM=displayname]]</b></p>
-or-
<b>[[FROM=displayname]]</b>

It always outputs the CSS code as text:

<p style="color:blue;"><b>ofthatilk</b></p>
-or-
<b>ofthatilk</b>

(Unsure if this message will show my CSS code or convert it into bold/blue font?)

Am I missing something? How can this be done?
BTW, I -have- selected the text to be inserted as HTML in the QT settings...

Thanks for your help!

Have you choosen to edit mail in HTML-mode?

Yes I have, indeed. It does not work, I'm afraid.

In the meantime, I have tried to insert formatted HTML text using the "Clippings" addon, and it works fine there. It's the same CSS code.

(Obviously, I would not want to continue using "Clippings" as it lacks the versatility and configurability of QT!)

Could you export the templates and send them to me emil AT hesslow.se ?

I'm having the same problem as ofthatilk and will email you the exported templates. Here's what it is BTW:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<quicktext version="2">
<filetype>templates</filetype>
<menu>
<title><![CDATA[Test]]></title>
<texts>
<text shortcut="" type="1">
<name><![CDATA[HTML Sig]]></name>
<body><![CDATA[<br>
-- <br>
Martin<br>
<br>
]]></body>
</text>
</texts>
</menu>
</quicktext>

Never mind, I figured-out what was causing the problem. I got it to work by enabling the "Compose messages in HTML format" option in the Compsition & Addressing section of my Account settings…

It's possible to override the default for individual messages to allow them to be written in HTML format, but apparently the extension only looks at the Account setting.

It would be nice if the extension would be able to detect what the mode was for the specfic individual message being composed, rather than assume it's whatever the default was set to...
