Reply to email with a copy

I'm using TB PE 2.0.0.6. One aspect that I find really frustrating is that when I reply to a message, it doesn't create a copy of that reply anywhere (like Outlook). It is a very nice feature to be ale to look back when wondering what was my last correspondence with so-and-so. Please reply!!!

Slow with HTML enabled

Submitted by luis69 on September 22, 2007 - 10:48am

I've happily moved 90% of my main applications to a 4GB flash pendrive.

Speed is generally ok, the slowest application I use is Thunderbird Portable.

I can live with TP's speed, but it gets unbelievably slow when I select

View > Message Body as > Original HTML

I usually view emails in plain text, but sometimes I need to enable full HTML support. It then takes forever to even show short and simple emails.

Am I the only one with this problem? Any setting that might help?

I'm using TP v.2.0.0.5, I've disabled my AV email scanning and my pendrive is NTFS formatted.

Web page links in email - Portable TB 1.5 vs. 2.0

Submitted by EVBrown on September 18, 2007 - 10:53pm

I have held off upgrading to Portable TB 2.0 until just recently. Portable TB 1.5 was working fine, so I figured if it was not broke, don't fix it. I am testing out 2.0.0.6 and am troubled by different behavior. I have separate directories, so I can test out both. Here is what I observe.

TB 1.5
When I click on a web page link in an email, it opens my Portable Firefox, switches to the FF application and loads the appropriate page.

TB 2.0
