source edit tabs grayed out

When I open a new message in OE 6 and click View, source edit is grayed out
and I'm unable to put a checkmark in Source Edit.
What caused me to lose these tabs and is there another way to get them back?
Thank you for any help.

Are you using HTML to format? Source Edit is unavailable using Plain Text,
not to mention a moot point.

That was exactly the problem, she was in plain text format.
Major duh on our part!
Thank you so much for replying Bruce, we really appreciate it.
