I've got a screen shot to send, but I'm having dificulty in
sending it.

I downloaded Thunderbird to deal with it, but now the readme
file says to get info on installing it at:

   http://getthunderbird.com/releases/

Unfortunately, all they have there is a completely uninformative
tailchase, with no installation directions whatsoever.

Anyone got a clue?  :-(
