Let’s not overthink this.

What would SmartyPants do that can’t be accomplished right now using 
standard OS X text settings. These settings can be adjusted for 
MailMate’s existing composer window.

everything is getting replaced… automatically.

As a bonus, this works fine for plain-text messages without requiring 
any additional logic around including an HTML version.
