The HTML editor is ckeditor which is written in javascript and loaded 
after the compose window is opened.

If your server uses the Debian package for ckeditor, there is a problem 
with that package at the moment.  I saw some email between the Debian 
Horde maintainer and the Debian ckeditor maintainer a few days ago 
talking about this.  I would expect a repaired package to be released soon.

You can confirm this is your problem by watching the javascript console 
log (hit F12 to open a debugger if you have firebug installed) when you 
open the compose window.

If you see a http 404, file not found error for /core/loader.js
then you have the Debian package problem for ckeditor.

If you are sure that ckeditor is being loaded, then I have no idea what 
the problem could be.
