I can't seem to find the info how how to add a new kind of message tag
(as opposed to HTML tag).

I've done it once, and I thought I remembered it as pretty straightforward.
I'd like to add a tag with a new name or description and a new colour.

I pulled down the Help menu, went to the Thunderbird support page,
and did a search for "tag", and it came back empty
except for things about HTML tags.

Use the Option settings. The second choice is "View". There you find the
Tag-handling

In my USA English version, the tab is Display, then the 2nd tab therein
is Tags.

On the Toolbar, click on the Tag Messages icon, select 'New Tag...'.

Kind regards,
Melchert

(MacOS 10.3.9 / Firefox 2.0, Thunderbird 2.0)

Thanks to the various of you.

On my system, it turned out to be (as one of you mentioned)

Tools -> Options -> Display -> /Tags\ ...
-------

Not sure about Melchert's solution --
I don't seem to have that icon on my toolbar,
although I'm sure there's a way to put it there.

Thanks again.

The Tb default theme should have an icon available. Use the Customize
and look through the pallet of optional toolbar icons. I know that Sky
Pilot Classic and others for Tb maintained by Sailfish have the icon for
Tb 2.
