My temporary fix is to copy and paste to another editor. And it
doesn't matter what other editor, Notepad, WordPad, WordStar, Word,

Regardless whether Thunderbird is currently frozen or not. It only
happens under Thunderbird and nothing else. So the solution seems
pretty clear to me. Don't use Thunderbird or at least use another
editor and the major problem is gone.

And why don't you ask about this in a Thunderbird news group? The
signs on the door here are Windows XP, 7 and 8.

I have. Last question I posted was why does Firefox v28/29 only work
as a Metro App only on my touch screen machine and not on my other
two non-touch machines? Nobody knows? Many of them also leave
questions and nobody knows anything to help them either. Unless you
have a very simple question that most people know about, nothing is
probably going to happen there.

Anyway I was replying to Char's question concerning Thunderbird. And
this Thunderbird problem even goes back since the beginning. And
apparently if it hasn't been fixed in all of this time, it probably
is never going to be fixed.

I wonder why my install of Thunderbird doesn't do that on five
machines. I have it on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows XP and Linux
Netrunner and it works just fine on all of them. My experience with
the Mozilla Thunderbird news group is that it's inhabited by very
savvy users.

Yes, I have also heard stories like yours before. And if it is true and
I am not saying it is not, then something is different. I use IMAP,
newsgroups, and no POP3 accounts. I also read posts in another window,
some doesn't do that either and just use a pane view to do so.

As for Mozilla newsgroups, I don't doubt most of them are sawy users.
But some of us only ask questions about the really tough stuff. And that
could be difficult for even the best of them.


Sounds like you don't want a solution. I use imap, POP3, HTML mail and
open new windows to compose or read and don't have your problems. Are
you saying that TB doesn't work properly on all of your 30+ machines? I
would suspect an add on. Have you tried running TB in safe mode?
