How do I add a cedilla to a 'c' in an e-mail?
I can do most of the usual accents in French in T/bird but am stuck with the cedilla. Normally I can insert a symbol but I don't have this option on T/bird. Anybody know how to do this?

You do need to be composing a message in the Write window, and looking at the Write window's menu. Yours sounds like Thunderbird's main menu.
No menu? hold down the <alt> key, tap i for Insert, then C for Characters & symbols. Use <alt>, V then Toolbars and tick the appropriate checkboxes if you want the toolbar or menu permanently enabled.
OTOH, when you do look at the Write menu, the lack of the Insert option means, most likely, that you're composing in plain text and not HTML. Either set HTML in the account settings Composition & Addressing page, or hold down shift when selecting Write, Reply or Forward.
If you actually prefer to use plain text, then you need an add-on such as abcTajpu or Zombie Keys to help you çómpøsè with çëdíllâs. ;-)

Select Insert/Characters and Symbols and then choose a letter as in the picture.
In Thunderbird I don't have "Insert" tab. In Word I do, or Firefox but not in Thunderbird. I only have: File; Edit; View; Go; Message; Tools and Help. None of these offer an insert option. Thanks for trying though.

Thank you Zenos for the answer to my question.
In answer to your question about accents. Pressing 'AltGr'+'Ctrl' and then apostrophe then typing an "e" will give you "é" for example. Very old way of doing things but then......I'm very old!!
You were correct in that I don't usually go to the "Write" option - I just hit reply on the original. I'll do it your way from now on.
That's very helpful.
