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?
