Hi....This problem has started recently, I've never come across this before and have been using Thunderbird for years.

If I hit the space bar more than once or hit the enter key, the (what is meant to be blank spaces) are replaced with a uppercase A (this has a small up arrow above it).......I uninstalled, reinstalled using the backup file of the profiles.......same problem occurs.

Would appreciate a solution............... cheers ..................... gavin

Funny you should mention that, because I JUST noticed this problem tonight for me. From the main window I right clicked on an email and selected "Edit as new message..." and the message opened with all this capital A's with an arrow above it in the email.

Very weird.
