In OE, when I hit Reply button, it automatically defaults my cursor to the top of the reply message, allowing me to put text at the top above the Reply message. With Thunderbird it puts the cursor at the end of the message by default. Should the cursor be at the top, as if so, do I have to manually put it there, or is there a setting?
From: abc on 31 Dec 2009 04:02 Try this: In Thunderbird, goto Tools>Account Settings>Account Actions>Add Other Account. Then select Newsgroup Account then Continue button, Then enter Your Name and Email Address (this should be your online alias name and email address to avoid spam), then Continue button, Then enter Newsgroup Server e.g. 'msnews.microsoft.com' then Continue button, Then accept the Account Name default, press Continue button Then Done button.

The behavior you describe is for "top posting", the preferred method for replies in this group. The Mozilla behavior is for "bottom posting", the preferred method for replies in most of the rest of Usenet. You will need, at the least, XP SP2 (I think) to modify the behavior in MSOE using a registry hack. I don't know the key to change; I've not been using MSOE a lot since upgrading my main computer to Windows 7. Or you could try OE-QuoteFix: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ OE-QuoteFix also cures some other lapses in the programming of MS Outlook Express. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum

Do you know the nam of the newsgroup where Thunderbird can be found? I've only got msnews.microsoft.com and would like to view other newsgroups. On 31/12/2009 15:46, Bruce Hagen wrote: > Thunderbird Forums: > http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=50&sid=9a32fdd2a74cb7d46b4cc1a13b63c73b > |
