Every new message window requires a reset to "Restore Default" every time in order to activate the send button so how do I make the "Default" mode permanent? (bug1989214)

On my iMac, across all thunderbird email accounts, when I click on "New Message", the new window opens up with the Send button and Encrypt button blanked out. To activate the Send button, I have to right click on the Send button, then click on "Customize..." button, then click on "Restore Default Set". Next new message, same drill. This started one day ago and is a pain in the butt. How do I make the Send button live permanently?

Hi Barry,

The send button is supposed to be disabled until an address is entered in the "to:" field. Does your send button remain disabled even after you have entered an address in the "to:" field?

Too obvious for me - Some times you go searching for a solution when there really isn't a problem. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks for your very prompt response.
