Thank you, phred! Well, upates come "all of a sudden", don't they? At least for me they do, and I'm too lazy to keep count of them. I might later have a look at Kostya's explanations, or I might not. For me, plain text is all I need when writing on my phone, so I have no use for any fancy pancy improvements. The fancier letters I write o a bigger screen.
I followed your advice, uncheked the "new massage editor" and dived happy into my beloved darkness.
