I have loaded thunderbird and the email preview pane is not displaying. It was OK this morning but has disappeared now. Is this a temp[orary issue or has there been an update of the program.

Thanks, I had the same issue / question. It seems like this should be in the View menu.

This just happened to me now. Thank you for the F8 hint. That brought the preview pane back at the bottom of the page (horizontal.) From there I looked at "view" and clicked "vertical.' Everything is back to what it was this morning. This is a great group!
