Now this *is* interesting.

I haven't installed TB from scratch now for some some 5 or 6 years 
(whatever) because all I do is copy to a new installation of a distro 
the /home/.thunderbird directory. The only change I made to its contents 
is that I changed ISPs 3 years ago and so had to alter the Server Settings.

Thank you for letting me know about this as I think there is one person 
who is about to ask me to help with installing oS and also TB.
