I cannot insert a hyperlink into text or insert an image into a document because the "insert" feature has disappeared from ym compose menu. They keep changing it - I used to be able to copy from the clipboard using right-click, but they took that away and now you have to use <ctrl>V but now they taken everything away.

Yes I am composing in HTML.

This loss makes Thunderbird useless for me. Please help and I hope I'm doing something stupid. I have been using T-bird for years. Thanks!

If you hold the Shift key when clicking on Write does it work then?

No it doesn't.

You might post a screen shot of your Write window with the Insert missing. It may give someone a clue to the issue.
