Feature Request: More Email Message Formatting

The current functionality for editing email text is somewhat limited as far as colors are concerned. It would be nice to be able to highlight a section of text and apply a (span) specific text/background color to it. Currently, the only way to modify the text color is through the rather kludgy foreground/background icon in the tool bar that is not exactly easy to figure out. But this feature seems only capable of changing the foreground text color or setting a background for the ENTIRE page; it doesn't allow the background for the selection only to be changed.

Thanks!
