I have all my accounts set to send only text/plain messages. But in the message composer, an entire toolbar row (disabled until editor has focus) appears at the head. It should go away, not appear, be hidden.

What would you do if I formatted the message since the account setting is "always plain text?" Unknown.

Also, an entire toolbar line is devoted to presenting "Variables" and "Other" dropdowns. Just two buttons, both of which I will not use in my lifetime.

Removing these spurious items will make the UI more legible, less distracting, professional.

Thanks for the great products. Been using since v 1.0, along side Mosaic, Netscape, and FF.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

The Menu Bar and Composition Toolbar can be hidden from View/Toolbars (see picture). Press Alt if the Menu Bar is hidden.

Aha! Thanks. If fact the presence of the format toolbar was an indication one account was set to send html email. I had overlooked it! Now gone.

But the "Variables" and "Other" remain. No option for them?

I've never seen a Variables or Other button on any version of TB. Can you post a picture? Run in safe mode (hold Shift when launching TB) to see if they're due to an add-on, or try View/Toolbars/Customize... and see if you can drag them off the bar onto the Customize window.
