Steps to reproduce:

cannot create a sub list with letters instead of numbers


Actual results:

What happened was this:

1)  top level number item
     1. sub level number item
2) top level number item 2
     1.  sub level number item


Expected results:

I am expecting this:

1)  top level number item
     a. sub level number item a
     b. sub level number item b
2) top level number item 2
     a.  sub level number item a
     b. sub level number item b

Would like to add the capability to indent a number list and it changes to letters for the secondary level

You can already to that. Select the list in question and select
  Format > List properties
from the menu.

To fine-tune the HTML of the message, you can also use the add-on ThunderHTMLedit.

Sorry, but no u can't.  It is not convenient nor is it same as what u can do with other email apps.

I am asking that the standard framework for lists are indent to letters or at least provide a selection similar to a multi-level list.

I know u can change the list format, but i am asking that the list, but tabbing, indents and auto numbers with a small letter.

1)  header
    a) sub number
    b) sub

Attachment: Working for me.

Hmm, according to comment #0 you want to do what can already be done.

Now in comment #2 you're saying that tabbing should automatically change the numbering scheme?

Can you please clarify the request and if the current system really can't do what you need, I'll reopen the bug.
