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
