Yes, definitely!  I searched for that file and never found it.


    user.js

This is the additional preferences file for Thunderbird and is located 
in your profile folder 
<http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/edit#profile>. The file 
*does not exist* by default, so you need to create it before you can 
start adding your preferences.

Thanks for the help.
