Description

Expected behavior

It would be cool to send mails with bold, italics, underlined and crossed words, lists, etc. Maybe using MarkDown or a button that showed a "formating bar" (maybe at the bottom of the screen?).

Note: a preview button or a live preview would be also very appreciated.

Actual behavior

There's no way to do it

Environment

K-9 Mail version: 5.114 (F-droid)

Android version: 6.0.1

Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): IMAP

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by reading the discussion and locating the Android compose-mail flow. Done should support formatted mail content such as bold, italics, underlining, strikethrough, and lists, with a formatting control or Markdown approach and a preview as requirements are resolved.
