Can't drag a contact from address book, when I want to forward an E-Mail

When I want to forward an E-Mail from my inbox, I select forward. The message opens in a new window with no content.

Then I can select a contact( address) by right clicking and selecting write. A new message opens in a new window.
 But there is nothing to forward. This only started happening in the last week.
Thanks

Press F9 when in a Write window to turn the Contact Pane on.

I don't need to find the address book or a contact. When I press forward

in the original msg. A new blank window opens with out any msg or contact to forward.

Go to Options-Composition and Addressing

Is the box checked to include original message? If not check it.

I have no idea how you expect Thunderbird to know who your are forwarding a message to without you selecting a contact after you click forward.

I don't really expect Thunder Bird to be a mind reader. But when I select forward, a new msg. window opens, with nothing to forward.
