As many I changed from MS Outlook Express to Thunderbird. The only feature in MS OE I miss is the ability to set the colour of email reply text by default. i.e. any email reply text will by default be in a user selected colour rather than the standard black. This is a user selectable option in OE, but if it exists in Thunderbird I can't find it. I am of course aware that the text colour can be changed by high-lighting the text and changing the colour from the formatting menu. but this must be done individually with each reply OE allows this to be set up by default.
