I have been using the generic family since Netscape 3.1 days, through
Roundabout/Phoenix/Pagasus (IIRC), that became Mozilla Thunderbird.
Thunderbird has worked fine for me for several years. But several months
ago, it started showing multiple headers for each post in a newsgroup. This
same problem happened in W98SE, then on a different machine in W2K. Same
problem with 3 versions of Thunderbird. Virus scans and malware scans show
nothing.
Recently, with help from Mike Dee and wwald, I did some steps to try to
correct this problem. This included uninstall, then manually cleaning out
every entry in W2K, then using RegSeeker to clean it out of the registry.
Reboot, then a clean new install of TB 1.5. The first day was fine. With no
changes on my hard drive, no reboot, the next day, TB had the problem
again. So it developed the problem by itself.
TB has a very nice GUI and newsgroup display IMO, like the old Netscape.
But I've come to the conclusion that Thunderbird is not reliable, which for
a program is for me a heavy comment to make.
Advice on this?
