Hello again,
Well, your Thunderbird is different than mine, as there is no "Send" tab
in Composition from Preferences in my version. I see you have Lightning
installed with your's, which is the only thing I could find different
about our versions. Maybe there is as setting somewhere in About:Config.
Yes, I do find a setting in about:config for mailnews.plaintext_domains,
which takes a string value, so it doesn't enable the setting for the
Send tab, I have to enter the domain values in about:config all on the
one line.
Ahhh... I just found out I can add entries to the about:config display,
so I could duplicate the setting to add more domain names on another
line. Have a good day.
Later, Ray Parrish
