While I am a management consultant and do not understand how to code and develop software beyond the most surface levels, I wish to contribute this idea towards development of Thunderbird.

One of the most important components of an email client is the editor. There have been many requests for changes in the Thunderbird mail editor in the past. I wish to propose a strategic solution to this issue.

The solution that I offer is that this team of independent contributors builds a word processor like Microsoft Word, does so under the umbrella of Thunderbird, so that there are no copyright issues in using that editor for composing email in Thunderbird, and uses that editor as a stand alone editor as well as an editor for composing emails within Thunderbird.

I am not aware if the Linux Word Processing Editor can be used for Thunderbird as a sharing between two community software initiatives, but that aspect can also be explored by talking directly to Linux.

I am struggling trying to get a consistent format in Thunderbird. First of all let me say that I am happy with the default use of paragraph style and if I want to have occasional single spacing I can use shift-enter instead of enter. Most queries on formatting seem to be about getting single spacing all the time. That is not my issue. That means that if I compose an email from scratch everything is just the way I want it, using the default settings. The problem arises when I reply to an email. The settings then seem to be ignored. For instance the line spacing can be fixed to single spacing whether I select paragraph or body text and no matter what I do I can't get it to follow the default behaviour. Also, I noticed that the font goes to "sans-serifArial" instead of the usual "Variable Width". In fact if I try to select "Variable Width" in the Format menu it is just ignored. How do I get the default composition settings when I reply to an incoming email?

I want to add a dedicated search bar next to the address bar. When I search how to do this, I read: To add a separate search bar in the Firefox browser, navigate to Settings > Search and then click on "Add search bar in toolbar". This will place a dedicated search bar next to the address bar. But when I search for "Add search bar in toolbar", I get a message there are no results in Settings. I have Windows 10 laptop.

When "Moving" emails to folder links that are 3 levels down in "Local Folders", the "Recent Destinations" listing will only save the link as 'Inbox - Local Folders' - not the email folder 'saved to' which may be more than one level down from 'Local Folders'.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird and I get the same results.

hey there, i am having problems turning off the automatic translation within the firefox browser. concerning watching videos, it is pretty annoying, but doing any kind of research at all becomes difficult, if the translations do not make sense or have obvious mistakes. i also personally prefer to keep my apps in english, although i am located in germany.

i tried turning it off with specific sites, i have tried to add exceptions, i have tried to make it translate english sites into english. all without any real progress, i just keep getting weird, german AI-sentences. my only assumption is that it might be related to anti-virus software or vpn-related aspects.

if anybody has thoughts or maybe even a solution, you are very welcome to share. i would really appreciate it and thank you!
