"Reply to" bug in Thunderbird 91.5.0 (32 bit) on Windows 7
I just updated my Thunderbird to 91.5.0 (32 bit) on Windows 7 last night. I now have a bug when I open an email in my inbox. It seems to open a draft email as if I am replying to myself. Instead of being able to interact with links and elements normally, I am able to reformat all elements because it thinks I am in "write" mode sending a message to myself. It also displays an error message at the bottom: "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setttings from identity [myname] <myemailaddress>." The only workaround to this is right clicking on the email in the inbox and opening email in new tab or window. It seems like other users might be having similar issues with this draft mode. If this is a bug, I would love it to be patched; if this is something I have done on my end, I would love to know what settings to adjust. Thanks!

Do the emails still display as if a draft ?

If you still have a problem then try the following:
It is possible the 'Inbox' has got a flag set up as if it thinks it's a draft email. Please try the following:
Install this addon called 'FolderFlags'
How to install addon:
It adds a tab called 'Flags' in the 'Properties' of a folder.
- Right click on 'Inbox' folder and select 'Properties'
- Select the 'Flags' tab
- if a 'Draft' flag has been set - change it to 'Inbox'.
- click on 'OK'
What did you discover? Did the 'Inbox' have a 'Draft' flag ?
