The insert options are invalid for a plain text composition window.  The entire
Insert menu should be disabled.  I'll check for an existing bug...

OK, I checked with nbaca and there's no existing bug about this.  Basically, it
looks like we haven't yet implemented a differentiating menu set for plain text
vs. html message composition window.  In current builds both the Insert and
Formatting menu items are all present and enabled.  There may be more...

QA assigning to nbaca and she can handle

A bug for removing the HTML menu options, such as the Insert menu and the Format
menu, is logged in bug# 24185.

Minor UI fixups to M18.  If this is incorrect, please adjust.

Why is this bug even still open?  This is an invalid situation and the fact that
the menu is incorrect is already covered in another bug! I'm marking this as
resolved/invalid.
