Double click on the message in Outbox. That SHOULD bring up the message
in a window and you should be able to edit the TO field.

Not sure what you are asking. The first sentence says you 'get it'.

Double click on the message in the Outbox.
Click in the body of the message
   <Ctrl>a (control key + a should select all)
   <Ctrl>c (control key + c should copy)
Create a new message
Click in the body
   <Ctrl>v (control key + v should paste)
enter email in TO field
send

That I don't know. There should be a menu option View. Message. similar
and in there maybe there is a font option.
