HTML e-mails displaying as plain text
I just installed Thunderbird on WinXP and any e-mails which are in HTML display as just plain text. I have a feeling I am missing something simple here but haven't been able to find it. Thanks for any help.

As a new user, may I suggest you take 10 minutes or so and click through ALL the menu options? You don't stand a chance of remembering where everything is, but at least when you have something you want check into, you'll have an idea that it's in there somewhere and can go looking for it.

That's one of the nicer things about the Mozilla programs -- no complex installation, just copy and run as you have.
What is the source of these html format messages? Are they new message arrivals or messages you imported from another client?
There have been some problems reported with importing messages, especially from Eudora, due to Eudora not retaining the header that defines messages as being in html. If that's the source of your messages, do a bbs search on "import Eudora html" and you should find all sorts of threads on this, including some perl scripts to repair the situation.
