Hi,

I do like how I can change the toolbar buttons that Thunderbird shows when I open Thunderbird. That is, I other mouse button click on the toolbar and select "Customize." I have a panoply of buttons to choose from, to arrange as I wish on the toolbar.

But, when I am reading an email, the buttons I see on the top left of the email window are: "Reply, Forward, Archive, Junk, Delete, More" (in Settings, I have "'Open messages' set to 'in a new message window'."

I have not been able to find a similar "Customize" ability for the toolbar of the message window.

Is there such an ability?

The reason I ask... I'd like to have similar control over that toolbar to that I have on the other Thunderbird toolbars. But I cannot find the appropriate Customize option.

What am I missing?

thx.

(Thunderbird 115.9 on Linux Mint, 115.10 on Windows)

THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU.

That resolves my immediate concern.

I'd much prefer that that ability were an inherent part of Thunderbird, instead of relying upon an Add-on, though.

Add-ons seem to go away when the API changes, and API changes seems to happen a lot in the Mozilla family.

But I suspect that concern is a whole different avenue to pursue.

For now, I am happy.

Many thanks for your reply.
