Highlighting Thunderbird

Do you use Mozilla Thunderbird for email? Do you receive emails where your correspondent has purportedly highlighted text? Can you see the highlighting? Well, if you can let me know what settings you use to reveal said highlighting. If you cannot, then I have a kludgy workaround for this. Right-click the email in question (or Control-E in Windows) and choose “Edit as new”. This opens the email as if it were an email you plan to send, for some reason the highlighting shows up in this view.

I’m sure there is a setting I have overlooked in my installation of Thunderbird, and I really would like to know what it is to save my self valuable seconds when I need to see the edits or comments a correspondent has made on a draft news story for instance. But, for now this kludge works well.

When you’ve finished carrying out the task that required you to be able to see the highlighted text in your email, simply close the message box.
