Sounds crazy, but I can't find the formatting toolbar in SeaMonkey
(2.40), even after starting it in safe mode. The only thing I
can think
of is that since I use it for newsgroups but not email, it has

I'm not worth bothering with.
I use plain text for newsgroups, but I'm still curious.
knowledge there is no format toolbar in SeaMonkey at all; there
is only
a format menu in the compose window and that only appears when
you are
composing in HTML.

So if you wanted to send an email or post to a newsgroup in
formatted
text or with other features such as bullet points, you would
create it
in Composer and paste it into the email or newsgroup parts of the
suite.
Is that correct?
On my machine, there's a formatting toolbar directly under the
Subject:
field when I compose/reply in HTML. As with other SM toolbars, it
can be
hidden/revealed:
(in an HTML composition window) View | Show/Hide... Formatting
Toolbar
If the checkbox is already in the "on" position, look where I told
you
for a little speckly rectangle, just under the word "Subject:," and
click it to toggle it back on.
There's no formatting toolbar in a plain text composition window
because
it would be pointless.
The one place I could find in Preferences to select plain text vs.
HTML is Mail & Newsgroups/Send Format/Send the message in formatted
text (html) anyway.....
So I checked that, closed and reopened. Assuming I'm now composing
in HTML, I can find no format toolbar, including under
View-Show/Hide- or in the customize box.
It might be that you need to have email set up for that toolbar to
appear in the newsgroup GUI.
(back in plain text to compose and send this post)
Select the Account, click View settings for this account >
Composition & Addressing, put a check mark in the box for "Compose
messages in HTML format.
You should see the formatting toolbar underneath where you enter the
Subject.
Why do you want to see it in plain text composition?
I have for my account Composition & Addressing, - "Compose messages
in HTML format".
All goes well ... when composing the html-formatting bar is present
... then I send the mail, and SM propose me to send in "html and
plain text" or in "html only" or in "plain text only".
When I choose in "plain text only" .. the mail is sent in plain text
only - so far, so good.
Then, per exemple I need to sent this mail to another friend, so I do
"Message" - "Edit Message as New" ...
AND the html-formatting bar is NOT present evenwhile my option
"Composition & Addressing" is "Compose messages in HTML format".
So I cannot add some html gadget for my "another friend".
Sounds like bug. You should report it.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259984 just done -WITH NO
HOPE ...SM prefer to have gadgets implemented and let bugs unresolved ...
