Attempted to forward an email, but what should be the Send button is only Send Later. Can't find a way to change that. Ctrl-shift-return doesn't change that setting. The dropdown choices of Find/send and Find/send later are grayed out. I don't know how this got set to Send Later.

Hi there,

I'm confused. Did you mean to file a support question for Thunderbird? In Thunderbird, "Send Later" is shown when you are lacking an internet connection or if Thunderbird is in Offline mode. There's a little icon in the status bar at the bottom left corner of the window where you can toggle the Offline/Online mode.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Never noticed that icon. Thanks. For some unknown reason, Thunderbird itself eventually asked if I wanted to proceed online, which I accepted. But your note will obviate that fortuity. Merci.
