Ask HN: Gmail extension for unified text formatting in sent emails?

1 pointarikr2 comments

Sometimes, if you paste something in an email, it looks like it's formatted correctly to you, but your recipient sees it as two different fonts. This can look pretty unprofessional.

Is there any tool to help avoid this?

Paste into Gmail with Ctrl-Shift-V. It will remove formatting and paste as plain text.

Command backslash on MacOS strips formatting. For more complicated situations, the easiest fix is just to copy it into Sublime first.
