Frustration with Thunderbird -

[Bob Goodwin]

I do not have copies of the postings to Mozilla, they were made 
separately over
a period of several months, were not saved, and my operating system has 
been
changed to FC-4 since that time.  However I am very much interested in 
obtaining
answers to these questions from any source.  Really, I just need to be 
pointed to
the right files, assuming they can be dealt with in plain text. 

Thank you Taharka.
