Hi As a medical professional I often need to send referral or feedback emails to others in the medical field. How do I set up Thunderbird such that my letterhead can be made as a template, that the text can be typed directly and sent from the mail program? Currently, I type it up in MS Word, print it out on to my practice letterhead, scan it, then attach it to a new email - it's a pain. Thank you

Thunderbird supports embedded HTML signatures and there are a number of free websites that create signatures. Here is an example: https://www.canva.com/create/email-signatures/ For simplicity, I suggest omitting graphics and focus on different Fonts and font sizes. Adding pictures is possible, but more involved.

Start a new HTML message in TB, add graphics and text, then Save As... Template. The message will be saved in the Templates folder, which can be defined as an IMAP or local folder in Account Settings, Copies & Folders. To write a new message based on the template, double-click the template, make changes, then send. To invoke templates for replies or forwards, it's a bit more involved, but there is an add-on.

But if you simply want to include contact information, websites etc. in all messages, including replies and forwards, it's probably simpler to create an html signature:

Best to use the TB message composer to create html signatures to ensure compatibility.
