Right. But Mozilla is not only for Grandma. Sure, it should be usable by
Grandma. But we have lots of users who spend 2 hours a day with this
application.
I believe that
* Grandma won't even notice the difference between the HTML or
plaintext composer, apart from the other font.
* There is a large number of users, who spent a lot of time with
email and who want features like bulleted lists and indention.
* These users do not change preferences to get to the composer they
want, because they have a problem with current prefs dialogs.
* There are users who prefer the plaintext composer, e.g. for
ascii-art or just because or long-grown habits, but they do know
how to switich to the plaintext composer.

Yes, I noticed that after I sent it, too :-). I would have bothered, if
the list was longer or the items were longer.
