When I try to send a message on Thunderbird, the send/Draft/save/- all those buttons have vanished. How do I get them to show back up?

I have attached a photo below to show you what my "Write a message" looks like. I can not send messages because my SEND button has vanished. What steps do I need to do to get these buttons back on my Thunderbird?

You have lost or turned off all the toolbars in the Write window.

Open a Write window. Use the Windows shortcut to reveal hidden Menu Bars. The alt key. From the Menu Bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on. Send is on the Composition toolbar. I also suggest you check Menu Bar so it displays all the time.
