[Yes I know I said I had posted enough in this thread but hey]

Given that Michelle's question was about the behaviour of a mail
user agent called Mozilla Thunderbird, what makes you think that
a Usenet veteran would know the answer? A Usenet veteran would
surely know enough to use the correct tool for the job and would
therefore have no experience of said application for posting.

Oh dear, there I go again, making the mistake of providing a
rational response to one of your annoying sarky posts. Just
goes to show that even us Usenet veterans are fallible:-)

On the other hand, I do commend you (as others have done) for
taking certain advice on board and improving your posting style
(at least in terms of structure - content is as poor as ever).

Ian
