This is interesting, when I open a message in Thunderbird I only have the body of the message read to me and in fact I would only know the body of the message existed unless I took the Mouse pointer or the WE Cursor for a drive round the screen, you can click any part of that section to copy text from it or whatever. I'm wondering if your answer may lie somewhere in the "view" menu? I've been using Thunderbird for the last 3 years, can't remember much about the Windows PC these days as I don't use it much, like my Mac you know <smile> but I recall fiddling round with some settings in Thunderbird's "View" menu to tweak it to read what I wanted read when opening a message.
