Hardy Herron probs?

[0path]

For the mails, please check :

http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/

This is included by default in Hardy Heron.

It seems as if bogofilter (antispam) is doing something with
your mails arriving in Thunderbird which it shouldn't.

There's one radical solution which you can use to test if this is indeed
the problem :

apt-get remove bogofilter

You can allways reinstall it with :

apt-get install bogofilter.

About the DVD-drives, it would be handy to have some more info.

Can you open a terminal window and type :

lshw > ~/lshw.txt

In your home folder you will now find a file called 'lshw.txt'.

Open it please and paste it's contents in a response to this message.

Regards,

Michel
