Hi Terry, > That's a lot of faffing around, which might have to be repeated if I > have to re-install the package.
I can't recall the last time I had to reinstall a package on Arch, Debian, or Ubuntu. It feels like a `turn it off and on again'. But if you do have to, then keep a ~/hints/thunderbird that's just a text file recording things you've worked out but won't remember in six months. I've a whole bunch of ~/hints/* for obscure corners. Even though you've reverted to KMail, can't you leave Thunderbird installed to dabble with, without it being an annoyance because it's your only MUA? Meanwhile, consider https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/thunderbird as a place to ask a question, e.g. folder subscribing, from those used to answering Thunderbird questions. I wonder if you should be sending text/plain emails if you want precise control over layout, rather than text/html that, depending on what bits of HTML they decide to use, and how a recipient's MUA renders them, takes presentation out of your hands. Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting at *new* venue: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-11-06 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
