Ever since I received a Thunderbird update, I have been having a problem with addresses names coming up in red letters. The addressees are in my address book. I don't have faith that these Emails are going out OK. I get feedback from some of the addressees that they didn't receive either my Email or the attachment but this seems to be random. I never had any of these problems before the recent upgrade.

Yes this is a bug, the red letters do not interfer with sending of emails, it is only displayed in red font. Please vote for this bug:

If you want to go back to previous version, uninstall the curent version and download 24.6:

  • choose the option for your OS eg: Windows = win32
  • choose prefered language eg: en-GB = English British
  • download the .exe file.

There is also a similar bug where the email address is being incorrectly completed and may also be in red font. These email addresses are entered in a way that seems invalid. So perhaps may not be getting through. If you had anything like what has been described at the following bug, please vote for it.
