the spellchecker button is greyed out and the spell as you write does not work either. I am having to use microsoft word, then cut and paste.

Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.

I assume you mean See title or See subject as that is where you put everything you wrote.
In the composer. Place the cursor in the body of the email and right click and select language. Is there a dictionary installed??
Yes there is a dictionary: English (US)

Thanks Matt. That did it. Although when I re enabled all the add ons, the spellchecker still worked. Maybe one was corrupt and disabling it temporarily fixed it?
I have seen safe mode fix things, just by starting that way many times. What it does I really do not know. I am just pleased it fixes what ails the program.
