Hello. I apologize for the late post. My answers follow:
1. The fact that the display shows LI is what Thunderbird is telling
Window-Eyes. There is a hidden list box somewhere, but it's not visible.
It seems to be a timing issue with the focus of Thunderbird. When I
press control-n or control-m to write a new message, I sometimes hear in
speech "Compose no subject to: edit box" and sometimes I hear in speech
"1 of 4 compose no subject" and sometimes still I hear in speech
"compose no subject 1 of 4". So as you can see, the speech is also
reporting different things. When the speech does the first of my 3
examples, the Braille display shows the to: edit box which makes it
clear you are in the to: field for composing a message. If however, the
speech says one of the other things, as in 1 of 4, no subject, or some
variant, it means that the hidden list box I mentioned has somehow
gotten focus and the Braille display shows LI because that is what
Thunderbird is showing. So in short, while annoying, this is a
Thunderbird bug, not a Window-Eyes one. When this happens, if you really
want the to: field to display in Braille, you can tab and shift-tab to
put focus properly on the to: field. However, doing this is not
necessary because in all cases, when you start to compose a new message
you are already in the to: field and you can just start typing the email
address or name from your address book.
2. We have seen issues with composing Email in Thunderbird which makes
text seem invisible. What I recommend is that you change your posts to
text and then it's tracked better. Also, we have made some improvements
in how Email composition is handled with Window-Eyes 7.
3. I believe the top/bottom index and list box question was already
answered.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I am trying Window-Eyes with Thunderbird.
It works good, but there are some problems. Don't know if it is my system, or
window-eyes.
When composing a new message, the brailledisplay displays nothing after
pressing ctrl-n. But only, that the name of the control is: li
when pressing tab, I land on the to field.
And when I come in the body field and am typing letters, Window-Eyes does not see any signs. Window-Eyes says, that the field is empty, but there are lines
of text.
Sometimes when pressing up/down arrow, some of the text is shown.
This happens mostly on my system. Sometimes not.
The same when replying on a message.
Another strange thing, but this has maybe to do with msaa-controls:
when pressing tab to go into a folder and the folder is empty: wineyes says
nothing. When top/bottom index is on, this is not working in Thunderbird.
Also the listview with header option is not working in Thunderbird.
Regards, Marten
