Can't highlight & color text, can't color the backround. All extensions disabled. I can underline, italic, and bold only. Any ideas?

Any idea about what?

if you are composing in plain text you can not set fonts or colours. Try holding shift while you click to write. Does that offer the opportunity to change fonts in the message?
