Thunderbird 6.0.2 Conversation Mode

Post by BobH »

Since installing the upgrade several days ago, I've been trying to get used to the conversation or dialog mode. I've found little to recommend it so far, but I'm going to give it several weeks before disabling it.

I don't know if the problem is related to the conversation mode or if it's an upgrade issue, but I've found that graphic rich messages, when forwarded, never get sent. The Sending Messages panel stays on screen but never completes.

Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

TIA

Sorry to be a dummy, but where is this "conversation" mode? I've never changed my TB options, so I don't know where this mode is.

Maybe this here will help...

Ahhh so. Woe is me, I can see where that would be difficult to get used to.

It has it's pluses. I subscribe to the Old Tools listserv (Luddite that I am) and it makes it very easy to navigate in a thread. Of course, there probably aren't many who still habituate such shadowy places. If I were still working corresponding with large numbers of people, it would make it far easier to manage dialogues, I think.
