Where does the abridged version of Thunderbird come from when using my PC?
I have Thunderbird installed on my PC and is current. I have noticed that when I want to write an answer to an e-mail, a Thunderbird version open up that says it is version 31.3.0 but it is not the same as the Thunderbird "Write" that is on my PC. It seems to be an abridged version which I have not selected. When I am in the process of writing something the rules suddenly change. For example, the line spacing goes from 1 to 1.5 or even 2. The Fonts change for no apparent reason. The letter widths and the font size, changes. Right now the 'abridged' version is hung up on "Helvetica/Arial" and either "Variable Width" or "Fixed Width". I've tried selecting a different Font from the list, but the 'abridged' version refuses to carry out my wishes. What's the reason for the abridge version of Thunderbird showing up, and how do get around this blockade?

When you write an email, Thunderbird launches a separate Compose window.
Is this your so-called "abridged Thunderbird"? Does it go away after you click "Send"?

What I was wanting is to find a way to stop Thunderbird from doing me any favors. I must assume that this 'separate Compose' window that you mention is the window that I'm talking about. I would prefer not having the 'separate Compose' window because I'm spending too much of my time correcting these uncontrolled mistakes in my posts. Or is there an update for the 'separate Compose' window that stops changing the 'rules' while I'm using it? I find it rather annoying trying to match wits with program that changes its rules as often as the wind blows.
I do not think we can assume anything.
When in Thunderbird and you click on write to write an email. is it that windows that opens what you are talking about?

Yes, I believe that is correct.
Let me back up a bit. I called the word processor in Thunderbird abridged. That was a mistake. There is only one word processor in Thunderbird that is accessed by clicking on 'Write' button with the mouse. Everything else remains the same. My version of this Thunderbird word processor keeps changing when I am writing an e-mail. Giving this problem some thought, I have this question. Could this effect be caused by the size of the buffer? I notice that these problems seem to start occurring when the e-mail is about 500+ words or more.
I just started Thunderbird on my ThinkPad. With the T-Bird word processor ready to accept input to the page, all the controls in the Thunderbird word processor function. I can now make different selections in the Format section. Before, while in the middle of writing an e-mail, I could not change any of these settings.
Is the Buffer hardwired, or can I change its size?
