Do you currently use HTML formatting? Don't know or unsure? 'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Composition & Addressing' for the mail account or 'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Account Settings' > 'Composition & Addressing' Select 'Compose messages in HTML format' click on 'OK' See second image below as an aid.

If yes, then you should see the 'Formatting bar' in a 'Write' window. If you cannot see it, maybe it needs to be enabled: View > Toolbars > Select 'Formatting Bar' see first image below. Anything set via the Formatting Bar will only be used in that email.
