Re: Frustration with Thunderbird -

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.

I have three major problems with Thunderbird version 1.0.2-6 (20050513) in FC-4.

1 When I scroll [with the space bar] through the message text of the last message in a directory [I filter mail into directories] a block comes up asking if I want to advance to the next unread message in another directory and requires me to reach for the track ball and acknowledge the notice. I would prefer that nothing happen when I get to the end! Is there a way to change this?

2 If I accidentally hit the Enter button instead of Shift or Delete while viewing a message it brings up a whole series of new pages. The simplest way out of that is to xkill Thunderbird and start over. I would prefer that it do nothing again in this case!

3 My problems are due in part to a large degree of visual impairment with which I have been recently afflicted. I would like to enlarge the scroll bar since when I need to use the track ball I have trouble hitting the tiny box at either end. I can enlarge text sufficiently so that I can deal with it, sometimes with a magnifier, but the scroll bar is difficult to use.
How can I change the size?

Answers to any of these questions will be appreciated.

No luck with a Mozilla list? I'd suggest sending a copy of this posting & a copy of the Mozilla list posting to Asa Dotzler asa@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please let us know what answer you get & how fast the response is here ;-)
