Raven, I read about Spicebird on Kim Komando's site and downloaded the setup file to a flash drive using my desktop computer. When I went to install on the Windows 7 machine, it would not install, indicating I had a corrupt download. So I just downloaded Thunderbird directly and used it a good part of today. I haven't quite figured out everything about it, but it is working for me and all three of my web mail programs are working with it. I guess I'll look for a good tutorial and make sure I have everything set up correctly. I think there are some add ons available, too. It certainly beats Windows Live Mail.

I was a Netscape user also and was forced to change due to new features being added to web sites that was no longer supported by Netscape. I now use Thunderbird version 2.0.0.19 and I am able to clean forwarded messages, sometimes with difficulty. I have no problem with deleting plain text, but sometimes have trouble with text within a 'frame' or graphic images. My work-around for this is to move to the bottom of the frame and begin deleting from the bottom, or right-click on it and delete the whole frame. Usually, I can start a selection from the bottom and delete that portion. If the 'text' is really an image, the entire image has to be deleted. If all else fails, as mentioned by a poster above, you can select, copy, and then paste into a new email window. By the way, I was able to import all my old email messages into Thunderbird (from Netscape), as well as my address book. Thunderbird appears a little different to Netscape, but most of all the features are there.

Do you know where this 'Program1' is located on your computer? If so close Thunderbird, open Windows Explorer, drill down to the offending folder. right click on it, click rename in the drop down menu and rename it Program. See if that fixes your problem. Any help?

I just updated Thunderbird to 15.0 cause I didn't have a send button.. I know I had one.. well I still don't with 15.0 & my pictures are still broken. My son wants me to get opera mail (he uses Firefox browser) but I didn't want it.. maybe now I do. I rebooted too as that usually helps solve a lot of problems. Am I missing it or is there a way to get it. I checked options & don't see anything. BTW I sent my letter using the send under file. Dar
