"abc" .gbl...
Do you know if it's possible to install only OE6 software from MS Office
XP? I still want to use the OE front end for newsgroup access.

Thank you.

Do you know the name of the newsgroup where Thunderbird can be found?

news.mozilla.org

Also see if this helps... http://ilias.ca/moznewsgroups-tb

It is actually a "news server", not a "newsgroup". As posted by Ken:

In OE, when I hit Reply button, it automatically defaults my cursor to
the top of the reply message, allowing me to put text at the top above
the Reply message. With Thunderbird it puts the cursor at the end of
the message by default. Should the cursor be at the top, as if so,
do I have to manually put it there, or is there a setting?

For most newsgroups including this one you want to bottom-post or inline
post with appropriate trimming. This pretty well covers the possibilities
but always assume bottom posting unless otherwise advised.

Myself, I usually look at a few posts to see what kind of quoting is going
on and follow suit. When I open a post with responses already made, then
I'll follow whatever method was used there to keep the flow of the
information going.
