You are part right, there has not been much work on Composer from the
SeaMonkey team.
This is however not to be construed as a desire to rid ourselves of it,
just a "too much to do, too little time" issue. We wish to keep it, and
in fact, wish to improve it.
I'm aware of the "too much to do, too little time" issue.
If as Phillip says it is used to compose HTML mail then I guess it has
to stay. Too bad it can't be hidden so it can't be used for web design.
I take it Thunderbird uses it for HTML mail also?
Well "it" is complicated a bit.
The basic engine is even used in Firefox for "designMode". A slightly
feature-added bits is used in SeaMonkey and Thunderbird for HTML Mail.
The largest specific SeaMonkey features are the UI we bring, and the
more "advanced" editing capabilities (sort of laughable given its dated
state).
But yea, there is layers to the code, and not much of us have the time
to do devote to that side of it atm. We do try hard to ensure that it
doesn't break though. [but without having much in the face of automated
tests for *our* uses of it, that itself can be harder.]
