Is there a way I can view the classic reader for the whole of Thunderbird without me having to change it for every single mail, 'cos the other view is confusing

All views other than the classic view are unnecessarily complicated, confusing and - to me - irritating. The view of each individual mail can of course be changed which is tiresome. Is there a way to have Thunderbird - who is otherwise a very good mailing software - in classic view for all my e-mails. By way of one general button that allows classic view throughout. Thank you very much. Jacquot Verborgh

eer... did you install the conversations add-on by any chance? Thunderbird has not changed the way it views mails ever I don't think, so I am looking for another cause in your case.
