Yes, this is cross posted to Mac and Windows. LOL So don't forget to
hit "Reply All" when answering this post.


Usenet is not an e-mail venue. Reply All does not apply. Reply will
copy the Newsgroups header from the post to which you reply into your
own post. A respondent would have to edit that header in their reply
before submitting it. Maybe Thunderbird works different than many other
NNTP clients that I've used.


Thunderbird does do some things a bit nonstandard, and I've come to the
conclusion other news agents also do things a bit nonstandard.

Just using the Reply button in TB automatically adds all the newsgroups
to the header. Reply all include the sender in the header. I have had
folks wish to send me their reply in email. So, I just go with the
Reply All and let the chips fall where they may. G

A friend of mine has linked her SO's iPhone 6S, I think, to his Windows
8.1 computer. She did this trying to get the contacts from his old
pre-Android Verizon phone to the iPhone. She thinks she did this by
using Bluetooth, which makes no sense to me.

Now she would like to break that link between the two. I'm sure it can
be done. Her searches on the web have been unsuccessful, and she is smarter than
the average user.


Have her remove the other Bluetooth host from her PC's Bluetooth devices
list. I don't use OS/X (presumably what is on the Mac). In Windows, I
enter "bluetooth" in the Start menu search bar and select "Bluetooth
Devices". Another is to run "C:\Windows\System32\control.exe
bthprops.cpl" (sans quotes). I don't have any connected to my computer
right now but I suspect you right-click on a device and either
disconnect/disable it or delete that connectoid.


It's an iPhone, which uses iOS, not OS X.


You threw me with "I have a previous thread in the Mac group about
getting the contacts moved." You also cross-posted to a *mac*
newsgroup, not to an iPhone newsgroup.

Google's info-hit looks like you do similar on Mac OS/X.


Just change "mac" to "ios".
