Tbird 91 "Show HTML" button no longer works right

"Show HTML" button no longer "temporarily display text or HTML for this message". Instead, it changes the setting in"view", "message body as", to "Origional HTML. So now I have to go change that setting back to plain test every time I choose to view an email as HTML for a moment.

It seems that the choice of "compose in text only" is gone from the settings pages also.

Not familiar with the Show HTML button. There are add-ons for TB 91 that do something like this:

Thank you for the quick response. I already had allow-temp-HTML installed, but from so long ago I had forgotten it. I went to add-ons, turned it off and on, and it is now working as before.
