I find it extremely difficult to follow a subject that started as 
    Subject: [xubuntu-users] 7z files in Thunar
and is not being worked as:
    [xubuntu-users] LogIn failure
simply because the subject was changed. 

"LogIn failure" does not have anything to do with "7z files in Thunar",
the last time I checked.
