189717 - Psychedelic font size and interline size when composing a message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 210316

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

The composer windows is not very handy (the baddest point of the mail client I
would say).
When I copy paste some HTML content (like lyrics from a website), the text is
pasted with the caracteristics of the text (color, size, font)...but if I need
to write again in normal size, it's impossible...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start typing something in the composer windows
2.Copy paste the text content of a webpage
3. Type somthing after the paste content

Actual Results:  
You won't be able to change size and font properly, and there are various bugs
in the same time : 
- if the text you've pasted is in bold, you can't get rid of the bold effect on
the text you'll try to type after (sometimes)
- the interline size become messy, when typing enter, it creates 2 lines instead
of one (sometimes)
- it's impossible to write in the same size as what we've typed first : for this
 reason, it would be better to have a dropbox to choose the font size instead of
the +A -A buttons (always)

Expected Results:  
To be able to better choose the font behaviour, and mozilla mail should not only
import the text properties when pasted, but detect them as well (as the bold effect)
