How can I in the new version of Thunderbird get the part signed where in the older version the message text appeared? The way it appears now is appalling. Maybe someone might have a solution for this problem. I also tried to get rid of all the questions being asked when I try to send a message. I found several pages where you have to put tick marks in if you want but I deleted them as much as I can but several questions still pop up while I know that I filled all item like receiver, email used, my email being questioned and so on. I hope that there is a solution for as this really tests my patience. I have a feeling that the same is true for other users. Thanks for your (hopefully) useful answer. I am sure that somebody who is more familiar with Thunderbird has a solution. I started using this program as I finally decided to give up on Windows Live that I have used for many years but is no longer usable. Thanks in advance. Please use my email address if you can.
