1. I want all recipients to see my outgoing mails in Times New Roman

Please spare a thought for your recipients. When people send email to
me that does not control the font settings it means that my preferred
fonts are used to display the font and I find that very pleasing. When
the sender forces me to read email in their preferred fonts faces and
font sizes I'm rarely pleased by the choices they've made.
I agree with the above. Reading emails should not feel like browsing web
pages.
That said, the fight for plain text only emails was lost a long time
ago. My ambition is to make the best of it, and MailMate has quite a lot
of features utilizing HTML. This includes Markdown, code highlighting,
graph drawing (Mermaid), math (ASCIIMath, TexMath), HTML signatures, and
themes.
Going forward, I would like to improve the support for using plain text
markup and the use of themes (this includes allowing easier
font-changes), BUT I'm only going to do this AFTER I add a feature I'm
missing myself: Removing the styling done to incoming messages and
enforcing my own styling. This would include forcing dark mode (a
somewhat often requested feature).
In other words, I won't care much about what people do to outgoing
messages as long as I can make MailMate ignore it for incoming messages.
I think most people can live with that.
As always: No time frame on the above. I just wanted to share my general
position on HTML related issues :)
