Ärende: Re: Thunderbird
=======================
In a message on Sunday 07-15-16 Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:

GM Ed,

 HG> I was extremely disappointed with the e-mail editor in Thunderbird

EV> I use Thunderbird for Email on my XP machine.

Yes, that's what I wrote also.

EV> If I am at a web page in Firefox that I want to send in an Email to
EV> someone I will Copy the URL shown in Firefox's Address Bar, and then
EV> Paste it in to the message I'm writing in Thunderbird.

Yes, cut and paste is available, but it is cumbersome when you are
accustomed to import a text file straight off by a single command.

EV> I'd say what I do, and also write to let You know the Big LID is
EV> still around.

I'm happy to learn that you are still around.

EV> if I Restored the last MozBack file I made, would all the messages
EV> in the TB In-Box and the other sub-folders below the In-Box which I
EV> have received since I had to start over be Erased?

The trick is to have either different names of the backup files, or to
have them in separate directories. Either move the old files to another
directory, or set up a new directory from 'settings'.

EV> Until the Compact Crash in November 2015 I had been using
EV> Thunderbirds In-Box, to keep all the messages that I wanted to Save,

Well, there is an 'Archive' function in TB. Why not use it?

EV> Since last November I have been Moving Email messages that come in
EV> the In-Box, that I want to keep, down in to a sub-folder

I try to keep the Inbox as clean as possible. Received messages stay
there only until I have decided, what to do with them, or to them.

When I restarted my e-mail account, after 3« years QRT, because my ISP
decided not to support POTS connections anymore, I had 1708 messages in
the Inbox. It took some time to clean them out.

I received a Dell laptop updated to Win10 from my GS, and a mobile
internet subscription from my son, as xmas presents.

That's why/how I'm back on the Internet.

BTW, this was the text I wanted to include:

"What are the expectations for the coming years? Does the Professor of
Physics Harald Lesch, known from german TV, prove to be right, there
will not in the next four to six decades be anymore sunspot maxima.
The 'Small ice age' of the 1800s, the Dalton Minimum, will be repeated.
It may have had other causes *), but the fact remains, that our grand-
or maybe grandgrand children will not be able to fully utilize the bands
above 14 MHz. That would above all be tragic for the 6m band."

Translation by Holger "Sam" Granholm, OH0NC

*) Added by the translator: The trend of the past sunspot cycles show
   the same behaviour as the cycles preceeding the "Small ice age".

This required just the command ^KR and the storage, in this case A:\,
