Dear Mozilla Thunderbird Support Forum,

Before the recent upgrade, I could create tables in the body of my messages when I composed them by choosing Table.... from the Insert... menu. I cannot seem to find Insert... anymore anywhere. I am afraid that it was so intuitive that I cannot recreate the steps from memory.

My attempts to customize the COMPOSE MENU BAR to not offer an INSERT function, nore does INSERT appear in the Thunderbird menu bar when I have a COMPOSE window open, or not.

If INSERT has moved, you would kindly inform me how to find it I again would be most appreciative.

Sincerely.

Mark Frautschi.

The Insert menu only appears in the HTML-format message composer, not the plain text composer. Hold Shift when you click Write, Reply or Forward to switch to the other format if one format is defined for the account.
