Send button is greyed out when I create a new message but not when I reply.
Send button and check spelling button are greyed out - as are the format and insert menus - when I create a new message. When I reply to a message, all buttons and menus work. If I start to reply, but change recipient, subject line and insert a totally new message, I can send it. Tbird ver 31.4.0 (installed recently. The issue might have started with this install, but I am not sure.) Windows 7 Pro, Version 6.1, Service Pack 1 Gmail configured per google instructions.

and the send button becomes active when you actually address your mail (you can't send mail with no address)
The check spelling button has no content to check, so it does not work until you start typing in the body of the mail.
Same with format and insert menu, if you insertion point is not in the body of the email they do not have a destination to work with.
