There is a way using html. Click on 'Write' compose text. eg: Gone fishing Highlight a word eg: fishing 'Insert' > 'HTML' Enter the html code as shown in image below. click on 'Insert' button.

I am using Highlighter version 0.6.5 with Thunderbird 52.4 and it works just fine. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/highlighter-222207/?src=ss
