Change fonts in sylpheed when composing? [split]

Perhaps someone can set me straight on this - I too got tired of the load time required for Thunderbird and tried out Sylpheed. It is really fast, and has a decent feature set. One thing kills it though. When composing emails, there is no support for changing font sizing, color, etc. You get to select one font (and not even a color - seems to default to black) from the main configurations, and that is what is used - you can't highlight, bold, underline, change color etc. Whats worse, that seems to be just a display font. When Sylpheed sends the mail out, it is plain text. Essentially, there is no support for Rich Text for HTML. That is a bit limiting these days.

Oddly, this makes it worse than something old like Outlook Express from way back in the Win95 days!

split from "which mail client do you use?".
