When choosing to increase indend in a marked paragraph in the message body, one receive a bullet point list. This might be the intention of the developers but it is misleading and a feature of real increase/ decrease indend, (preferably with <tab>/<shift><tab>, is dearly missing. ..unless I am missing it. In the wake of such change, I suggest to rename the current behaviour as well to what it really does. Alternatively, the current behaviour can be kept but is configurable via a prefix for indendation (similar to quoting replied text). Empty prefix equals real indendation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mark a paragraph 2. Execute Increase Indent 3. Decrease Indend Actual Results: >2 added bullet points >3 removal of bullet points Expected Results: >2 increased indendation of paragraph >3 decreased indendation of paragraph
Using the command "increase indent" from the menu bar intentionally creates a bullet list. The name is misleading. It should be something like "Increase/decrease nested list level". See this bug #215663. Nonetheless, I support this feature request. Real indention is actually a missing feature. For example, I often discuss 3rd party literature via mail and having a feature like this would help to distinguish between my own text and citations. However, I would not use the HTML tag <tab> but prefer something like <p style="margin-left:??px;> or alternatively a <blockquote>-environment. With respect to the support of <blockquote> there is already another feature request, see bug #362493.
