When reply or replay all email, you could not COPY and PASTE the image file into the contents (HTML format).

However, if you create a new email, you are able to do so.

Could that be a bug ?

Save old emails for later use

Submitted by kermik on February 19, 2007 - 3:13am

Scenario: I want to remove all emails from before 01012007 because my Inbox has become bloated, but I do not want to delete them permanently if I later have need for one or more of these old mails, I just want to keep them somewhere safe.

I know I can save a copy of my "Profile" folder, but if I later copy back the relevant email folder, it will delete my present email folder, so I need some form of "re-aapending" my old email folder to my current one.

can't download messages :(

Submitted by pinipon on February 18, 2007 - 5:35pm

I want to download to my USB drive only the messages that i'm interested; I have selected "Fetch headers only" and unselected "Automatically download messages" in the server configuration.
After downloading the headers of my new mails, I mark only the messages wich I want to download. But I don't find the button, or any menu to download the messages individually.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks

TBP under Linux

Submitted by chris0 on February 17, 2007 - 8:55pm

I've been playing around and may have found a way to 'use' TBP under linux. If you have TB on your Linux computer, use your TBP profile by saying:

cd .mozilla-thunderbird/
rm -rf fej2039jfladfj.default
ln -s /mnt/usb/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile fej2039jfladfj.default
thunderbird

The same would work for Firefox, I suppose.
there is only one catch. Don't ever EVER E V E R logout without manually saying

umount /mnt/usb
