From: Robert Heller <hel...@deepsoft.com>

Most people in recent times are using a webmail client (eg GMail, Yahoo, AOL, 
Hotmail, etc.), so they are reading E-Mail in a webbrowser, just as they would 
be reading postings in an actual webforum.  The idea of an "E-Mail List" as 
something separate from a forum is actually foreign to these people.  And yes 
many people would prefer a web-forum (not me -- I hate web forums and avoid 
them whenever possible).

Thank you, Robert.  Yes, it is foreign to me.
Unfortunately, I do not save the messages.  I needed to reinstall my OS and all 
my applications.  They do offer gnucash version 1:2.6.19-1.  They also offer 
flatpak which is currently 4.0-3.
After reading the difficulties, I was going to wait until it smoothed out 
before installing but, in this case, had no choice but to upgrade.  Now, I have 
a couple of nits to pick:  

I started bookkeeping BC (before computer) so I'm familiar with debits and 
credits.  Unfortunately. I couldn't find where to use formal accounting rules.  
I recently made an entry, (I work in the general ledger.) and, as usual double 
checked it in the account register where it looked wrong.  So I corrected it 
and looked at it in the other account where it again looked wrong.  After 3 
corrections, I finally realized the the accounts were different from what I was 
used to.
I had heard several express difficulty with column widths.  I usually work with 
two or more windows open at once.  But now, GNC requires me to use full screen.
In both of those cases, I had read there was a solution.  With a mailing list, 
I can't browse through the previous posts to find the answers to my issues.
The first post in this collection referred to Gmane.  I'll install Thunderbird 
and see if I can figure out how to find it.
Thank you to all of you that work on this project.  It is awesome.
