Cannot edit or send from Draft folder
1. I've drafted an email, then hit save / closed the email and opted to "save changes". 2. I try to edit that email, but it is just "flashing" in the preview screen. I right click on it to "edit draft message", but that just brings up a blank email. 3. The status in the bottom left of the screen shows "loading message..." "downloading message", repeatedly. 4. It was working fine earlier in the week, but Thunderbird Desktop Version 140.7.0esr | Released January 13, 2026, seems to be when the problem started?

Does that also happen in Troubleshoot mode? If so, the only choice may be to delete the draft and start over.
1. Yes, even in Troubleshoot mode. 2. As the message is flashing blank/text/junk(?) in the preview mode, I can sometimes get a glimpse of the text, so I know it is trying to open the correct message. 3. If I use another email client (e.g. Outlook); it opens the draft normally [Gmail]/Drafts/...
1. I have deleted the draft and restarted it several times, no change. I can easily open/edit/send the draft from Outlook. 2. Same problem trying to open a draft created in Outlook using Thunderbird.
