Cannot send or reply to an email. Help!!!

I am loving the portable apps!! A problem that I am having with Thunderbird is that when I click to reply or just to create an email to send - The Compose window pops up but the from has "..." in it. I can put in email addresses in the "To" I can enter a Subject but I cannot do anything in the body of the email. I can't copy/paste. I can't use the controls to add a smiley. I can't get a cursor inside of the body to type anything.

Has anyone ever seen this in Thunderbird or Thunderbird Portable? Any ideas of how to fix it? I am using the latest version 2.0.0.6.

Thanks,

John M.
