Description

[Abbas Dadabhoy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

With Internet Explorer, I can switch back and forth between "Plain" and "Color
and Graphics" option which allows me to compose and/or display HTML based emails
in Yahoo Mail. I do not see that link when I compose a message using Mozilla
Browser.

The URL is as follow.

http://us.f139.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?YY=85557&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Yahoo Mail using Mozilla browser. (assuming you have an account)
2. Click on Compose Button
3. Next to the word Compose, you would expect to see the link for Plain or Color
and Graphics. I do not se the link when I use Mozilla, but with I.E I do.

Actual Results:  
Unable to create HTML based emails. 

Expected Results:  
Should have allowed the user to display the links so that the user can switch
between plain text and graphics.

I marked this Severity Major, because this feature may come handy in other.
