Review for Textmarker by 2.718
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Adds essential highlight functionality to Thunderbird's compose window. Very easy to use, click on "Mark" to highlight selected text, hold down "shift" while clicking undoes the highlight.
This is what should replace Tunderbird's useless "Choose color for background" in the compose window.
