I’ve been a Proton Unlimited subscriber for some time now. I’ve always had an issue on Proton Mail (Android) when composing a new email it comes pre-filled with a number of blank lines in the body. Definitely a minor issue as it hadn’t been fixed for a long time I decided to file a bug report. This was Proton’s response: >Currently, this is the expected behavior when you are composing a message through the Proton Mail Android application. > >Please kindly note that other users have expressed their opinion regarding this behavior as well and we have added your vote for this feature improvement request. Basically: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature! Is there actually anyone out there relying on this “feature”?

Currently, this is the expected behavior when you are composing a message through the Proton Mail Android application.

Please kindly note that other users have expressed their opinion regarding this behavior as well and we have added your vote for this feature improvement request.

Basically: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

Is there actually anyone out there relying on this “feature”?

The lines before the signature you mean ? Yes, to me they make easier to tap on the message area and start writing.
