Martin, Tom, and Others,
I've just installed V2.0.0.9 of Firefox and Thunderbird, and I'm
replying to my last post. On the Action Bar of the Composer, I can see:
File Edit View Insert Format Options Tools Help

If I click on Tools (Alt+T), there is an Options choice. If I click on
"Composition", I can see "General", "Addressing", and "Spelling". Under
"General", I can set the HTML Font and Size. I think this controls all
messages you compose.

If I click on Format (Alt+o), I can also choose "Font" and "Size", with
the same options as above available to me. I think this controls the
current message only.

Directly above the text area, I see a drop down that contains "Body
Text", another one beside it that contains "Variable Width", a pair of
rectangles with black on top and white beneath, and then a capital "A"
with a downward pointing triangle, and another capital "A" with an
upward pointing triangle. (More icons follow.) These things seem to be
graphic methods of exercising the same controls as under "Format" on the
Action Bar.

Do you see these things on your Composer Window? If not, maybe you
should go into the general options and restore the defaults.
Colin
