Smileys are not being inserted in html emails when clicking on either the smiley
menu or the buttons.  This worked fine in the last build I had.  Also noticed
that  clicking on an email address and choosing compose email to... now opens a
plain text compose window despite my default being set to html.  I know these
are two separate bugs, but there might be a relationship, so I just thought I'd
mention it here.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click New button to create a new email
2. Click into body of email
3. Click on a smiley button, or click the Instert -> Smiley -> and choose one

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
The chosen smiley (emoticon) should have been inserted.  Also note that
selecting across where the smiley should be and choosing insert -> html shows
that no html code was inserted either.

Similar to bug 70031 bug that bug's summary is misleading and that bug is ancient.

this seems a dupe of bug 170072, but it might also be related with the
html-editor/text-editor confusion that the reporter mentions
