A few more questions on Thunderbird

[Peter Torpey]

Thanks for the suggestions on Thunderbirdf, flat review mode, etc.  I'll get
on the Orca bug list and follow up with some of these issues.

 

Anyway, I have a few more questions about Thunderbird:

 

1.       1.  What is the best way to open and read a message in Thunderbird?
I haven't been able to do this without performing a lot of tabbing.  I'm
used to just hitting enter on messages to read them, but that doesn't seem
to work in Thunderbird with Orca.

2.       I installed the Thunderbird beta manually into the /opt/thunderbird
folder and created a shortcut on the start menu.  

Someone on the list suggested that I could add the line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu jaunty main universe
in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d file.
I assume that this will add the beta packages to my list of available
packages.  The question is, if I now use this aptitude packager installer,
where does the installed version of Thunderbird go and will it conflict with
what I have installed in the /opt/thunderbird directory (or will it
overwrite it)?  Should I remove the version which I manually installed and
configure Thunderbird again?

 

Thanks for any clarifications.
