If my default is to compose mail in plaintext, then the only way to switch to
HTML for one message is to going into the account preferences, check "Compose in
HTML", open the composition window, send the message, then go back to
preferences and uncheck "Compose in HTML". This is impractical--especially if
I've already written some text. Communicator 4.x used to have some UI element
in the composition window for choosing your format; when you changed the
setting, it would convert your current text to the new format. Can we get that
back?

same problem if starting compose window from a newsgroup where default is plaintext.
When changing account to a mail account, the mail cannot be rendered in html,
even if that is the default for that account.
From bug 167588:
"you can Shift+Click the Compose button in mail/news to compose a
rich text email (html) instead of plain text (and the opposite way around if you
are defaulting to html mail)"
Resolving as duplicate since that feature is not at all obvious.

This is not a duplicate. What I am asking for is a way to switch *after*
starting to write the message. Is that feasible?
I agree with John - this is not a duplicate.
This (bug 186017) is for changing plain text/html DURING writing an email.
Bug 167588 is for deciding between plain text/html BEFORE starting writing an email.
Outlook has this feature - At work I often use it when writing a reply to an
html email, to make it into a plain text reply.
this is actually a dup of bug 140800
