Thank you!!  (One of my workplaces uses Google for mail, and Google
refuses to let me fetch my mail from them, so I have to use their
horrid web interface.  It hasn't yet got to the point of outweighing
the benefits of that job, though Google does seem to be doing their
best to jump up and down on that scale.)

They hide that _way_ too well.  To the point I'd hesitate to call it
"fine", but I suppose the theory is that we should be grateful they
have it at all.  Or perhaps they're just counting on most people never
having used a civilized mail agent and thus not realizing how crippled
their UI is.

But you have to do so twice.  The first time - at least for me! - even
though it says plain text, it actually selects rich text mode according
to the marking in the upper right corner of the compose window.

Just another UI botch to add to the pile.
