Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports font and size changes, bold, italic, underline, font color, Format Painter, spell check, WPS AI, attachments, images, tables, hyperlinks, dividers, signatures, plus priority, voting, and read receipt settings in the compose window.	Outlook for Mac supports changing fonts and colors, embedding links, pasting text and images, lists, tables, Format Painter, and signatures.	Gmail supports message formatting tools, plain text mode, inserted links, default text styles, and admin-controlled email read receipts in Google Workspace.	Notion Mail supports composing email, block-based content, attachments, AI writing, and scheduled send; signature changes are handled in Gmail.	Adobe Acrobat mainly supports sending Acrobat files as links through email workflows and focuses on PDF sharing rather than a full email body editor.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings body formatting, inserted content, attachments, and send settings together in one compose workflow, which is useful when you want to finish editing and pre-send checks in one place.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents rich formatting and signatures clearly, but the referenced pages do not present voting and read receipt controls together with formatting in one article.	Compared with WPS: Gmail documents formatting clearly, while read receipts depend on Google Workspace admin settings and some controls are documented on separate pages.	Compared with WPS: Notion Mail is more focused on block-based writing and Gmail-connected workflows, and signature management is handled in Gmail.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more suitable for PDF link sharing and document delivery than for full email body editing.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Basic Email Editing fits users who want to format content, insert items, attach files, and review send settings in one compose window. Compared with common mail tools, it keeps message editing and pre-send controls closer together; if your main task is sharing PDF links, Adobe Acrobat is more focused on document delivery.
