Subject: Thunderbird 45.1.0 - Why Can't I Use Color Now?

Hi guys,
First, just want to say I think you guys are the greatest! I am only a
low-tech, loyal Thunderbird user who is following your communications
and rooting for you. I so appreciate your dedication to keeping
Thunderbird alive and well.
Secondly, Help! Recently, my son gave me a new computer and set
everything up for me including downloading the latest version of TB. In
composing a message, I realized I can no longer change the color of my
fonts. What happened!?
Thanks much,
Karen Spencer</pre></blockquote></pre>
I too am using Thunderbird 45.1.0. I just checked and I find text
color choices under Format > Text Color. (The cursor must be in
the body of the message.)<br>

If you compose without using HTML, you won't see any Format menu at
all. In that case, to begin composing your email using HTML you can
click <b>Shift + Write</b> (Message) to toggle your Account Setting
from plain to HTML. If you wish to make HTML your default Account
Setting, click <b>Tools > Account Settings > Composition and
Addressing [for the account of interest] > check the checkbox
entitled 'Compose messages in HTML format</b>'. <br>
