Kermit accidently added a typo to the [email protected] address; I'll forward this message to the list for him.

I've download and installed Thunderbird. I'm sending this message through Thunderbird. I did notice one annoying feature of Thunderbird. When I used the up arrow , intending to go up a line, it went up a page. I got around this by using the mouse cursor to move up a line. Does everyone else, that uses Thunderbird, have to move up a few lines by using the mouse cursor, or is there another way, for example by setting preferences? >From Luke: >> This is obviously a case for ... .dun-dun-dun!.... object-oriented >> programming.

I will consider everyone's suggestions. Those that make sense to me I will try to implement.
