MacOS – Removing the font toolbar in a new message

macosmail.apppreferences

In the Mac (mountain lion) mail.app (v 6.2), when composing a new message, I'm looking to hide the default font/styling bar that appears beneath the standard toolbar at the top of the window.

I've checked the view menu and found nothing and have also tried to customized the toolbar to no avail.
