How do I reply to an email when i have selected it in the inbox and I can read the email in the preview window? As far as I can tell there is no reply button anywhere. I did double click on the message and suddenly about 30 tabs opened up with each tab having a reply button, which is very nice if I wanted to answer all 30 replies individually. Now I have to open every email to reply and close 20-60 tabs just to reply, which I won't put up with just because of the nuisance bur for sure because of arthritis.

Note: Someone recommended thunderbird to me as very useful but without a reply button in the inbox this is not really a usefull email program. This seems like a minimum common sense basic email function. If you are going to force people to double click on an email in order to reply, it would common sense to only open up that email and not all 30-60 other emails in the string as one will want to reply to the latest email and not to all other emails in the string. If people want to open up all the emails (I can't think that are very many people that want that), make that option a triple click. Right now I have to do an extra click for a reply (compared to any other email software I have ever used) and I have to close 20-60 tabs just to reply to the latest email message, this makes thunderbird a waste of time. I can't imagine I am the only one that considers these two issues basic common sense in email software. Maybe most people just delete thunderbird as I was planning on doing without commenting.
