I could see myself using this if it had some basic text formatting options for cells, i.e. colour and font size.

This is a tricky tool to create and is currently in development.

Text has to look perfect (or very close to perfect) in every email client. Doing even simple things like line-height require loads of inline CSS, hacks and black magic. So creating a text editor is two big jobs:

1. Getting consistent text across all clients.

2. Then wrapping all this up in an editor.

I just want it to be spot on first time, that's why a text editor isn't in Mailrox at the moment, because it would be a crap rushed one. Rest assured quality text editing is coming. :)

+1 on this feature request! It would be even more valuable to me than the image swap/image hosting features I mentioned. I obviously can't speak for other users, but my ideal use case would be setting this up for a client and then letting them fill in the blanks themselves for each new e-mail, so fancy formatting could be set up ahead of time--the clients just want to edit text and have the paragraphs inserted automatically "without all that HTML stuff" :)

We've got Uservoice powered support and so if you have any other suggestions it'd be great if you add them over there so we can better track which features to prioritise.

We've added one for this request and so feel free to upvote and make comments on what you'd like to see included in a future text editor:
