Unfortunately I don't have a clue why or how to fix it. Using the dumbed
down version of OE. Ill have to look in to another news reader when I get a
chance.



I went from using OE as a newsreader to "SeaMonkey" , a spin-off of
Thunderbird after I started using Windows7. It works fine--especially
considering its free.

All so true, I don't even like having a cell phone, but it is a company
phone and I am on emergency call everyday all day.

I am increasingly getting request for texting by clients of my dog
business, I decline. They have my numbers they can call or email.

Some buyers are very efficient, 1 email for pictures, 1 email to
arrange payment, one phone call by me to arrange shipping,

I had a cell phone for a while. No one but my family knew the number.
The only calls I made or received, were of the following types:
Calls:
1. 'I am going to town to get xxxxx, do you need anything"?
2. "I am in (some store), they don't have the brand you wanted, should I
get the xxxxx brand"?
Received:
1. "While you are at XXXXXX, will you pick up some xxxxx"?
2. "Where are you? I need you to pick up xxxxx".
I no longer have a cell phone.

Went to look for the message I replied to, but couldn't find it
immediately and got sidetracked ... I figured as much.

I made the switch from WLM to TB when Vista came out ... took a while to
get used to, but TB is SOOOO much better than Windows Lame Mail,
although I still miss a few of my favorite OE shortcuts, like CTRL H,
which marked everything read, even threaded messages.

When I first got on the internet through my telephone company when they
first started internet access way back when (1985?), I didn't know I
could pick a username of my choice.
The person at the telco told me my username would be 'willshak'. She
never asked if I had a different choice of username. The first part,
'will', is correct. My first name is William. The second part, 'shak',.
is close to the first characters in my last name, but not exact.
I found out later that willshak is a nickname,used on the web, for
William Shakespeare.
I took advantage of that with my sig line, that told how to decipher my
real email address, which was 'out spammed dot', a takeoff on
Shakespeare's Lady MacBeth's "out damned spot" in "MacBeth", Act 5.

I just switched to Thunderbird, how do you block a sender?

Tools menu; Message Filters; New; add your parameters, give the filter a
name, and save it.

It appears that you then have to "Run Filters" when you download new
messages. Is there a way to configure it so that the filters run
automatically? I am using SeaMonkey, derived from Thunderbird, so its
conceivable that SeaMonkey will be different (but I doubt it).

I must be doing something wrong, It seems I had the problem when I tried
Thunderbird out in the past.

The best I can get is an error saying that I did not create the message
therefore I cannot delete it, when I "run rules on messages".

You're not doing anything wrong, and it's right, you can't delete someone
else's post on usenet.

I'm onsite and on an iPad so can't look at the TB menu, but the problem is
in the action you are taking after identifying a message ... Check for
other actions besides "delete the message" including ignore or mark as read
..... It should be intuitive what action to take.

You can set each filter to run on download or manually, or both.

I found that If I mark the thread, Ignore, It does not show up the next
time I load Thunderbird. BUT I will look into the alternatives besides
delete.

Usually you mark read instead of deleting.

If you just plain don't want to see the message, run a Hamster
http://www.arcorhome.de/newshamster/tgl/misc/hamster_en.html and use
it for filtering.

Sorry - though a woodgrain background may appeal to a woodworking group -
the overall presentation of this site... well it sucks. It takes way too
much effor to try to read the author's intent. Might pay to investigate the
conceepts of building a good web site..
