How to Remove 'Reply' from toolbar

Simples. Right click the reply button. Select "customise toolbar" Click the Reply button and select "hide" Click "close"

Job done, drink beer.

That used to work perfectly, exactly as you explained it. Now, it doesn't work, except "drink beer" always works.

I have an add-on that sorts out the problem, nattily called: Message Header Toolbar Customize

Thank you for confirmation of the problem. The "Reply" button is a pain right where it hurts, since it just where you need the Followup button to be.

I use an older verion of Thunderbird. No problems at all.

Drinking beer is very simple but the right click on the reply button, less so.

I'm sure it use to work but I think JNugent's idea is becoming the best solution.

Ah! Turns out I have an ESR version installed here. I now remember switching to an ESR version to save me from the constant f*ck-ups, sorry UI re-designs that the release versions suffer from.

I'm loathed to try the latest Thunderbird now for this problem alone.

the add-in mentioned above seems to fix it.

I have the same problem, with the 'Reply' button, but even a search fails to find the add-on by that name, or anything similar. I'm running the latest T/bird.

Search for "Message Header Toolbar Customize"

I'm running Tbird 128.12.0esr

Such a pity we can't post pictures. I have

I had a play with v140 on Linux and found you can't simply change the buttons any more. It's good to know that there is a plug in to solve a problem that wasn't a problem till the upgrade ;-)

Also if you run version 140 on a profile created by version 128 then it changes the profile so you cannot go back to version 128. I suspected I had read 140 did this so made a profile back before trying 140.

In the main toolbar, or the message header toolbar?#

It isn't compatible with TB v140, the author has been reasonably good at updating it for new TB releases in the past

Right click the message pane header, tick the "hide header toolbar" option, go back to using the good old main toolbar, where the reply icon does what you expect it to ...

Still shows 'No Results found - I'm running 140.0

I have it installed - for t bird version 78! I dont think it exists any more

Ah. Its available here

or

According to that page only for V128 to 138

Alternative download for V2.4.4 Released 23March this year.

I installed the latest and it works for me.

The latest is a 'special' version that has no maximum TB version check.
