When sendig or repling to emails, I can type in the address it needs to go to, the subject line. But when getting into the email body text I can not see what is being typed. The email can be sent after I type is and who ever I send it to can read what I have typed but I can not. This started this afternoon.

Does this happens in safe-mode (http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode)?

Please Robert, could you answer to comment #1?

Not sure as how to get into safe mode. 

I have found that the problem shows up when someone sends an email that has Animation email attached to it. If the email is deleted and than T-bird is restarted the problem seems to go away.

If you are in Windows XP simply go to start-->all programs and search for Thunderbird. You have the default launcher ("Thunderbird") and the safe-mode launcher ("Thunderbird (safe mode)"): start TB in safe mode and tell us what you see!
