   In a message on Sunday 07-15-16 Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GM Ed,   
      
    HG> I was extremely disappointed with the e-mail editor in Thunderbird   
      
   EV> I use Thunderbird for Email on my XP machine.   
      
   Yes, that's what I wrote also.   
      
   EV> If I am at a web page in Firefox that I want to send in an Email to   
   EV> someone I will Copy the URL shown in Firefox's Address Bar, and then   
   EV> Paste it in to the message I'm writing in Thunderbird.   
      
   Yes, cut and paste is available, but it is cumbersome when you are   
   accustomed to import a text file straight off by a single command.   
      
   EV> I'd say what I do, and also write to let You know the Big LID is   
   EV> still around.   
      
   I'm happy to learn that you are still around.   
      
   EV> if I Restored the last MozBack file I made, would all the messages   
   EV> in the TB In-Box and the other sub-folders below the In-Box which I   
   EV> have received since I had to start over be Erased?   
      
   The trick is to have either different names of the backup files, or to   
   have them in separate directories. Either move the old files to another   
   directory, or set up a new directory from 'settings'.   
      
   EV> Until the Compact Crash in November 2015 I had been using   
   EV> Thunderbirds In-Box, to keep all the messages that I wanted to Save,   
      
   Well, there is an 'Archive' function in TB. Why not use it?   
      
   EV> Since last November I have been Moving Email messages that come in   
   EV> the In-Box, that I want to keep, down in to a sub-folder   
      
   I try to keep the Inbox as clean as possible. Received messages stay   
   there only until I have decided, what to do with them, or to them.   
      
   When I restarted my e-mail account, after 3« years QRT, because my ISP   
   decided not to support POTS connections anymore, I had 1708 messages in   
   the Inbox. It took some time to clean them out.   
      
   I received a Dell laptop updated to Win10 from my GS, and a mobile   
   internet subscription from my son, as xmas presents.   
      
   That's why/how I'm back on the Internet.   
      
   BTW, this was the text I wanted to include:
