I am wondering how she is coping with Thunderbird constant
freeze ups? I was playing with older backup copies from 2007.
And I saw no freezing with Thunderbird v1.5.0.8. So I wonder
what version TB started freezing? I know it is there in v12 too.

Funny, my TB, which is *always* up-to-date, has never froze. And
I use TB with 12 email accounts. I don't use TB for newsgroups,
preferring to keep things separate and using Seamonkey.

I've never had a problem either. I use both the windows and *nix
versions and have for several years.

I've used it since Netscape.

I have used it since Netscape also.

About a year ago I was typing a message to a newsgroup and I noticed
the on screen letters weren't keeping up with the keyboard. I would
stop typing and it would catch up.

I traced the problem down to the Shockwave Flash plugin in Firefox,
it was showing 100 percent CPU usage. What was strange, was that it
would do it only on one website, and that happened to be my home
page, and where I read all the news.

I contacted the news station and told them about it, and even the
advertisement that was causing it.

It hasn't happened again. Now you can set Flash to ask to activate.

Sure the news station will fix it, but Mozilla won't.

Mozilla makes Shockwave? Since when?

Nobody said Mozilla makes Shockwave. The point was the code of the radio
station had a bug that causes the CPU to use all of the processor power
from Shockwave, which was being used in Thunderbird as a plug in. Other
readers and browsers other than Mozilla products know how to deal with
misbehaving plug ins. Mozilla products don't and don't expect Mozilla to
ever to include such a feature. As Mozilla only works in a perfect
world. ;-)
