Header pane button customization
Hello,
I notice that when I select one message or a conversation, I have different action in the header pane. When it's multiple messages selected, I only have Archive and Delete as option.
So I want to have the same choice as single message selected. I found this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/getting-started-thunderbird-main-window#w_header-pane In header pane section, it's said "Want to re-order or remove buttons? Click Customize." I don't really understand where I can do that. If someone can guide me, that would be great. Thanks.

That is correct. It has always been the options when multiple emails are selected.

That's not possible because the message Header Pane is email specific for an opened email - it shows the header information of an email and a group of selected emails shown as X Conversations or Messages is not an email specific option. It is not the Header Pane.
What you can do is right click on the selected/highlighted emails in the upper 'Message List/Thread Pane' area and then you have many options such as 'Copy to'.
The link you mentioned is now out of date for 115* . Actually, it was out of date for 102* as well. Select an email and in Header Pane you will see a 'More' button which offers options. At the bottom is a 'Customise' option. This faciliates some customisation such as only show icons. It only effects the 'Header Pane' and not the 'X Messages' pane.
