A few more questions on Thunderbird

[Paul Hunt]

Hi,

That's a bit odd, you should be able to just hit enter on a message then 
read it with the arrow keys.

Are you sure you have the latest version - the third beta?

I'm not sure where thunderbird would install to if you use the package 
manager but I would guess it would install into /usr
