What exactly do you mean by "I'm set up"?
If a compose an original new message to not-myself-but-to-valid-email-address and add myself to "Bcc" I can send out such an email no problems, "Send" button is available.

Thanks.

My Thunderbird config automatically includes me as a Bcc on all messages, new or reply. So the compose window comes up with the Bcc field filled on all messages. What I see is (1) on a new message, the send button is greyed out, but if I clear the Bcc field it *appears* to become active and (2) on a reply, the Send button is greyed out, but clearing Bcc doesn't do anything to the Send button.  In BOTH cases, the Send button--whether it appears active or not--does nothing.

I am starting to get the feeling that you're running up the age old problem of "old settings interfering with new software".

There is usually not a solution without sacrifice.  In this case, it would seem that if you'd want to move to the latest T-Bird
a "fresh start" would be in order.  That probably would result in the Bcc field not being auto populated.
I'm using Thunderbird V94 here and in Account Settings->Copies and Folders you can specify a CC list of emails and a BCC list of emails to automatically add those lists of email addresses to the relevant address lines when sending an email. It also says that if they are populated then the corresponding line will not appear in the emails, which I assume is when you are composing the emails. After writing this line I tried it out by putting my email address in the CC and BCC lines, and despite what is written in the preferences, these lines appeared in the email with my email address in them (as opposed to them displaying as "tabs" when by default they are empty) and the email address was tagged as not being in my address book. Also the replyto was still showing as a ">>" "tab" as "other address fields to show" which when the ">>" is clicked on adds Replyto to the display. With this setup the "Send" button was still active and accessible.
Also in V94 the CC, BCC and Replyto lines are not automatically displayed, they are presented as "tabs" next to the from address line and have to be clicked on to add those lines to the mail for something to be entered.
For my inbox location I'm also not using the default profile location for the folder, I have specified a folder on location on my Windows host which I have vmware auto mounting on vm image start up. I did this for a reason, but I don't remember why.
Just one other question on this front, I'm seeing in all emails from this address list, and only from this address list, a lot of data at the bottom of the emails that looks like some sort of binary data, or maybe a digital signature or public encryption key. Is address list encrypting emails, I've only noticed this since going to V94 which has support for end-to-end encryption of mails via Openpgp or S/Mime. The reason I'm querying this is I originally replied to this mail, which had what looks like a digital signature at the bottom of it, that was held for the mailing list moderator to approve because it was bigger than 60k.


As far as I can tell, everything you've described about V94 is the same as V91 as supplied in the repository.
V91 does have OPENpgp and S/MIme support.

FWIW, V94 isn't even "beta" it is a daily build.  V93 being the current beta available on Mozilla's site.  So, hopefully,
you're backing up stuff just in case the daily build goes funky. :-)
