How do I make a Thinderbird template my default message format

I am running a windows 10 PC.

Recently, I made a template in Thunderbird - with the text size I wanted and a signature. Thunderbird made that my default message template. Great.

I then had computer problems - not great - my ssd stopped running windows. I've repaired that issue but, when I've recreated my template, I can't figure out how to make it the default message template, again.

Please advise how to do just this. Thank you, Benn

I didn't know you can set a default template. I'd use the Stationery add-on.

Hello Zenos

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.

For clarity, I adjusted the email format and saved it with a signature etc. This automatically became my default email format. I never saved it as a template.

However, I can't seem to edit the email format and save it in TBird now. That's the solution I'm looking for...
