Very weird - I've been using Thunderbird for a couple of decades and have never seen this before . . .

When composing a message I can only enter one To: addressee. It is only displaying one line to enter a To: addressee. I cannot figure out a way to add a second or third To: addressee.

The same is true for cc: and bcc: there is a line to enter one, but that is it.

I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone could provide.

Thanks for the quick response Wayne, however I was unable to find a solution in the articles you referenced.

In those articles they all state that after entering an addressee and hitting <enter> or <tab> will allow you to enter subsequent To: addressees.

When I enter an addressee and hit <enter> or <tab> the only thing that happens is the cursor indexes to the Subject: line. A new addressee box does not appear.
