*ROFL* !!!!
I started with Netscape 4 and have ignored Firefox/Thunderbird.
I currently have SeaMonkey 2.49.1 
<https://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.49.1&os=linux&lang=en-US>.

Composer choked on the file I was trying to edit.
Years ago I had run into a particular file which Composer had problems.
At the time I discovered Amaya.

I solved the problem using brute force. So time pressure is reduced.

Thank you.
