[Thunderbird] Re: Can't Navigate My LAN Or Ping

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Ok, you don't like web mail and I do.  Is it just because fo the line wrap issue. If so I'll look again in the options as I did before and thought I got all the issues ironed out.  Maybe not but only Nils and now you have mentioned it so I wasn't aware. If it upsetting everyone so much I'll give TB another try with you tomorrow.  Not like I don't have other pressing issues with my OS, but will give it a shot. Firefox-bin constantly cycles up into the high 90% range and when it does my computer is useless until it cycles back down.  Installed firefox-3.0 just now to see if it's any better.  See you tomorrow-:))
