When I compose a message, I don't get the composition menu - attachemnt, send, etc. I can only attach something if I use one of the codewords like "attach".

I have had to install Thunderbird on new PCs and I no longer get the menu bars on the composition page. I cannot attach a file unless I type "attach" or another keyword in the body of the message. Then I get a reminder asking if I forgot to attach something and can click on that. How do I get my menu bars back? Clicking in the upper right corner doesn't give me the right options.

Chosen solution

In the main menu bar of the compose window: View - Toolbars Check 'Composition Toolbar'.

In case the menu bar is hidden as well press Alt or F10 to bring it back.

That did it. Thank you. I was not getting the menu bar either and couldn't figure out how to get them both back. Thank you.
