header panel missing

The header panel on my Thunderbird seems to have gone MIA. Basically, I'm missing the "reply/delete/junk/other actions" toolbar from the message pane. I am not missing the menu bar and pressing alt or F9 doesn't do anything. View>Toolbars doesn't have any toolbar that are unchecked. View>Headers>All doesn't do anything either. What do?

I'm sure this is somehow a simple fix, but I've already searched the support forums, maybe I'm just not using the right term.

In view > toolbars the toolbar in the message header is the Message toolbar. Try unselecting it and reselecting it, just in case there is some oddness out there.

Otherwise try restarting with add-ons disabled from the help menu. Might be you have a bad add-on causing the toolbar to make itself scarce.

The "restart without any add-ons" has somehow fixed the issue, but oddly enough I don't have any add-ons (I don't use thunderbird very much on this computer). Thank you!

There's no message toolbar in the View>Toolbars menu.

Sorry it is mail toolbar. (It is getting quite late here)
