    Is a strong drink and a peer group.

    Is no one in a position to complain about users anymore? Given the
    Are all of us users busy training LLMs and not reaching out to IT with self-inflicted issues?

    Never qualified, just a user. I did help people with dBaseII back in
    the day, maybe that counts. Plus Thunderbird is not amenable to
    complying with the restriction. There's a Facebook group, which is only marginally more active.

    I loved reading this group. Smart people saying clever shit.

    Thunderbird is indeed amenable, if you know where to poke.

    It is now, but not 38 (or maybe 68), which I used up until gmail
    demanded 2FA. Every "upgrade" lost something I valued, and this last one
    was no exception. I'm sure there's a good reason that it translates backspaces into CRLFs...

    There are some things that money can't buy. For everything else,
    there's shell scripts and alcohol. Unix. It's everywhere you want to
    be.

    Thunderbird seems to work fine. You just need to RTFM.

    Old TB didn't allow the requirement. New one does. End of story.
