Sounds like someone is jumping to conclusions. I'm using the current
official Fedora 8 thunderbird 2.0.0.9 update, and was previously
using the stock Fedora 8 thunderbird. Prior to that I used
thunderbird 2.x on Fedora 7.
The "View->Messages" submenu on the main window's pulldown menus has
been there in every single release as I use it all the time. As
mentioned in a previous mail in this thread, it is the main
thunderbird screen that must be used, not the message composition
window.
I'm looking at the pull downs in the top bar where I see ...Edit
View Insert.... in the main or home Thunderbird window
and under View I see only the following items with "Message" in their
titles: Message Body as
Message Source
Message Security Info
This is the same using Thunderbird 2.0.0.5 (20070727) on F7 Moonshine
and Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (20071115) on F8 Werewolf
I do not see a "Messages" menu item.
Is it possible that there is a customization that is making this
visible or invisible?

This whole Thunderbird issue started by me was due to my ignorance
of the fact that somehow I had unchecked View -> Layout -> Message Pane
F8 not knowing this allows you to move windows around in TB. My main
problem was this. All the other things are not needed. I plan to turn
off all the things I turned on.
There is a real lack of documentation on TB. They have a FAQ that is
too basic, and then some writing where you modify long strings of
letters and numbers in the configuration file. There is no nice rundown
on what each thing on the tool bar does.
In my case I didn't know what Message Pane F8 did and had to be told
by a guy on this list :-)
