I'm not sure, but you could be pressing a keyboard shortcut to send
by accident. To help accidentally sending, look in
Edit / Preferences / Composition / General
and enable the option
"Confirm when using keyboard shortcut to send message"

Maybe that will help you diagnose too.

Also see here
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/keyboard

in the shortcuts for "Linux"
there is "Send Message Now", set to "Ctrl + Enter".
I can see how you could easily press that by mistake.

I can't see anywhere you can configure it.
Maybe it's a built-in shortcut ?

Anton.
