Really?

Your original post was:

I see nothing in that post regarding OS or Thunderbird. BTW: Thunderbird
is a Mozilla product.

As others have told you, that option is *only* available via linux (or
possibly Mac, I've not looked). However along the line you were provided
with a solution for your problem.

When I commented in the thread regarding linux I prefixed the thread as:

 [linux] Re: Send as Email not working in 2.04

which is a polite way to alert others that the thread discussion is
related to linux & not Windows Xwhatever or Mac.

The overall problem of "Send as Email not working in 2.04" is not just a
Windows, Mac, Linux, problem. Given that the base complaints originate
from Mozilla base products w/OOo, it is instead more related to a lack
of coordination between the OOo and Mozilla (Thunderbird,
Mozilla/Netscape, Seamonkey) teams.
  OOo has faulty Send as Email (SAE) scripts. The OOo teams are well
aware of this and have been for a very long time. The Mozilla teams
don't help this in that they are aware of the problem and have been
aware of the problem since at least 2002.

SAE not working in 2.0.4 is an issue that needs fixing regardless of OS.
If any Mozilla products/projects are not working in OOo, the OOo should
state up front that those product are not supported, don't work, will or
won't be fixed etc.  Most of the "fixes" that I've looked at in linux
are simple script changes. Changes that shouldn't be rocket science to
change.
  However I am an end user, so I shouldn't be expected to patch scripts
just to get this to work.

I suppose that there could indeed be a separate thread for linux, Mac,
Windows XP, Win98, Win2KP (I have one of those). But perhaps it would
simply be better to keep this thread going and instead prefix the
response with [place your operating system here] so that folks can: 1)
look at the responses for their OS or filter accordingly, and 2) others
with actuall OOo SAE problems can look at the fixes/responses that
others have found on their particuar OS.
  Keep in mind that OOo is a multi-OS program and effort. It is not
restricted to Windows, Linux, or Mac... see:
