Does anybody know how to get help with Thunderbird
for simple problems other than scan through numerous web pages and
"registering" for this and that. I immediately forget my password to 
these things.
My problem at the moment is that it randomly refused to let me bold any 
text.
The bold icon will turn on but nothing is bolded. Often the bold icon stays
  lighted up but nothing is bolded or can be. I have the latest version 
I think.
Sometimes even Microsoft looks good.

Thanks,

David

I can't remember where the official discussion forums are located, but 
they inevitably will just direct you to Bugzilla anyway.

Thanks. I did not know of Bugzilla.

Bugzilla is no help to me. Does anybody know of a good email program?

Thanks

You mean, one that does have good support, and is free of any petty quirks?

Sorry, no. Don't know any.

Sure. Thunderbird. Hire someone to fix the bug that annoys you. That's how 
open source is supposed to work, yes? :-)

Thanks, I was afraid of that. I suppose given the current state of 
software. it was
a ridiculous question.

I don't know, I suppose so. Mozilla is certainly not making any money 
off me using their free
software. A while back I was ready to buy Thunderbird if it came with 
manuals, etc. I'm afraid the price
of any paid support would be far beyond my means. I did find a 
Thunderbird support forum
that does not require passwords(which I would forget or lose) and have 
gotten some suggestions,
e.g. compact my email files.

So....
