Hi! All,   
      
   FYI.  I am writing to advise of a problem I had during the week with the   
   T'bird 38.1.0 update for Windows.  38.1 was heralded as a 'must have' security   
   patch so naturally it seemed that I must have it.   
      
   Immediately after the update, I started browsing around and found that _new_   
   posts presented by JamNNTPd had the from addressee mangled.  It only displayed   
   the Fido address minus the punctuation marks.  I.e. no colon or slant.  Just   
   the digits all rolled into a large integer.   
      
   Maybe the new version works fine for other NNTP servers.  I don't care.  I   
   don't read anything other than Fidonet traffic presented by JamNNTPd.   
      
   Now, I should add that this particular T'bird installation resides in a   
   VirtualBox VM and the Windows version is XP SP2.  (The only one that has   
   T'bird installed.)  Earlier today I spent 10-15 minutes to revert T'bird back   
   to version 31.7.0 using the instructions I found at:   
      
   http://kb.mozillazine.org/Go_back_to_an_old_version_of_Thunderbi   
   d#Go_back_to_a_recent_release   
      
   (All on one line, BTW.)  The Lightning add-on took a little extra since the   
   old one (in fact new & unusable) had to be uninstalled and a matching version   
   for the old T'bird had to be re-installed.  It all went smoothly of course,   
   since I had backups of everything.  That's the only time anything similar ever   
   goes smoothly.   
      
   I don't know about other OS flavours or distros but I have disabled auto   
   updates for all of my other T'Bird incarnations.  They're all now frozen at   
   whatever version state they were at this morning.   
      
   Yippee Ki-yay!   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
