Sounds crazy, but I can't find the formatting toolbar in SeaMonkey

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?
Got it!
It's going out as plain text, but why compose in it. I never really
thought about it that much and assumed that whatever you composed in
determined what you sent it in, but obviously that is not the case. I'll
keep the toolbar.
