TechByter Worldwide 2023-08-18: Thunderbird’s Attractive Face Is Just Part Of What’s New. Short Circuits. Twenty Years Ago.

TechByter Worldwide (formerly Technology Corner) with Bill Blinn

Mozilla has been working on a new version of Thunderbird for a while and the combination of improvements, new features, and ongoing debugging make it well worth looking at regardless of which email application you’re using now. In Short Circuits: Sometimes Microsoft does something so astonishingly ignorant that it’s hard to believe management was aware of it. I’ll describe what seems to be the dumb and petty decision to pull support for the OneNote Clipper from Firefox. • Usually I recommend against extended warranties, but sometimes they can be a good value, particularly with expensive mobile devices that can easily be damaged. Twenty Years Ago (only on the website): Spam was a big problem in 2003, but back then we had no idea how bad it could be.
