[Inbox] Add rich-content editor to Conversations

[seth]

As a user, I would like to be able to use the rich-content editor to compose messages in the Conversations inbox. This would enable me to create Conversations that are on par, formatting- and content-wise, with Announcements. (Students seem to read Conversations messages more diligently than Announcements.)

@nburruss, you are able to vote by clicking on the stars that appear at the top and above the beginning of the text for the original post/idea.

What's really annoying is that, after looking through the lists shown on the right (Moderating, In Dev, Beta), our conversation here and request has a very solid support number and should have plenty of votes for the Dev Team to pay attention, which is not the case. I never saw ANYONE from the Dev Team responding to any of the threads within. Does anyone have a better insight on how can we push for someone in charge to pay attention and realize this is a crucial (AND EASY TO SETUP) upgrade and implementation feature? In the meantime let's garner more support and push those votes to over 100+. Thank you all for your help with it.

I concur with the comments here. In order to make our content as accessible as possible, the Inbox messages should follow the same functionality as content pages and announcements. Being able to link to other course materials within the conversations is extremely helpful to students also.

I'm adding my request to this list. I've tried to give this request "stars." Would love to see this feature activated.
