What device is this on? It's too "zoomed in" to get the context. I'm not altogether sure that is Thunderbird we're looking at and some of the icons look like those I see in Android. Is it Windows 10? That uses some unfamiliar (to me) icons.
It is not a "simple text message" - it's using HTML markup and possibly is being viewed in a reader that doesn't support HTML. There is a checkbox in Account Settings in Thunderbird that governs whether or not messages are composed using HTML. It might be useful to set that to "off" on mum's Thunderbird.
