111311 - [RFE] Compose Button should be a drop down that lets you select the format of the new message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16908

From Bugzilla Helper:

In netscape 4.7 the 'new msg' putton is a pull down menu that lets you select if
you want to compose in plain text or html.  Currently you must change your
prefrences to 'compose messages in HTML format' if you want to send an html mail
once, then change it back again.

FYI: there is another way to get the alternate compose window -- Shift+Click on
the compose button.  It should open the compose window type opposite from your
settings for that account.

That is not documented.  Since the feature already exists it shouldn't be too
hard to make it a drop down, no?
