I'm using the SmartTemplates extension for stationary. I created a template with HTML tables to insure maximum conformity on various email clients.

As you can see in the image attached, Thunderbird shows resize handles, triangles and delete icons, etc. Is there any way I could hide those? They're really annoying when composing. Thanks!

Using Thunderbird 78.11.0 on Windows 10.

No. That is just how the Thunderbird composer looks.
