Comment 40 for bug 584632

I have come to the edge of abandoning Thunderbird due to this 9 1/2 year old bug. People reply to my replies and I see that the format of what I sent them makes it look like it was written by a 7-year old with crayons. It's a hodgepodge of two different fonts/sizes -- embarrassing and unprofessional.

Is there a work-around or a fix? (People working with TB 3 in 2010 had some success with setups involving the add-ons Quote & Reply and QuoteandComposeManager. But before I wade into those waters I would like a little assurance that it can be made to work.)
