When you try to create a bullet list it immediately creates a new line below the text (see "Bullet Point In Line") so you have to copy and paste text to the next line. The line it creates is double-height.

If you start the list in the line above the text ("Bullet Point Above") it creates a bullet in that line, which is above the text so you have to delete to align.

Once you have created a bullet list you cannot remove it using the bullet drop-down. You have to use the outdent function or return twice if you want the next line to not have a bullet. Doing either of these adds a double-height line below the previous bullet. In order to correct this you have to backspace to merge the lines, then press return again.

Thirdly, if you try to convert a bullet list to a number list, or vice versa, it starts the new format in the line below and indented. If you outdent it reverts back to the previous format.

Basically, as soon as you try to create a bullet list the formatting falls apart. Also, when the email arrives the font sizing and format is all over the place.

It is hard to use Airmail as a professional tool when basic formatting is so hard.

I know this is rather a summary of different "ideas" and not all are new but I am afraid that 15+ ideas with 4-5 votes will never get the attention so I figured I'd just summarize them. So maybe it's me but I think proper email formatting is a basic functionality that should be given. The way the composer works today is beta status *at best*:

* Everytime I add a bullet or numbered list via markdown editor, I get double spacing between the bullets/ list items (when I paste from Byword, it looks fine!)
* In general, there is no way to adjust line spacing
* Everytime you edit something and then switch back from markdown editing to Rich Text editing and then back again to edit what you just wrote, you get no chance to edit again because it is summarized as [original-html]
* When inside a bulleted list and you want to change the current bullet level to a numbered item, it just *adds* a numbered item on the next level instead of changing the current bullet level (if it were possible to edit the [original-html], I could fix this myself, but read above!
* It should be possible to use tab to indent/ outdent list levels
* Every time I paste text with other formattings, it won't be adjusted to the format used in my email (look at Outlook and just offer 3 options: 1. insert as plain text (I know you could also do this with Option+Shift+Command+V), 2. apply formatting, 3. use source formatting)

Whilst the above are a must in my eyes, this would be a plus:

* The HTML editor should highlight the text in both windows at the same time, i.e. if I highlight a section in Rich Text then it should show me where the relevant code for that section is so I can edit more quickly

I would love to keep on using Airmail but with this composer, I am switching back to Outlook :-(.

Although the current support of the Markdown composer does allow you to compose emails in Markdown (the main reason I bought Airmail in the first place), the composer is limited in many ways:

1. If you ever switch off the Markdown view, or in any other way navigate away from the Markdown source view, your entire Markdown source is collapsed into the `[original-html]` block. This is extremely dissatisfying. You lose the ability to edit the original Markdown source, which, really, is a huge problem.

2. In Markdown mode, regardless of whether autocorrect is on or not, you cannot type ellipses (...), two dashes (--), or draw a line separator (---) without it being autocorrected. This is a definite bug. This is an issue when documenting options passed to shell commands (`git clone --recursive`, etc.), and even just using the standard markdown features like the line separator.

3. When typing in the Markdown composer, the cursor turns white, and is nearly invisible in the composer window.

4. One should be able to edit the signature as well, in case a modification needs to be made.

5. This is recognized in another issue, but support for GitHub Flavoured Markdown would be great.

Airmail 3.0.1 provides the option to use the selected account as the default reply account. Unfortunately, this option does not work adequately with forwarded email.

For example: I have multiple email accounts (hypothetically, bob@gmail.com and steve@gmail.com) that are forwarded to one address (again hypothetically, everything@gmail.com); i.e., all of my emails to the various accounts are redirected to everything@gmail.com's inbox. Now, if I want to reply to an email that was sent to bob@gmail.com, I want to use bob@gmail.com as the default sender; unfortunately, because the email is sitting in everything@gmail.com's inbox, Airmail selects everything@gmail.com as the default sender.
