Thunderbird, my newsreader, decided to update itself. Now I can't find
the 'reply' button when I read the messages. What I wanted to say was -
John, you should start a line of Girly accessories on Etsy. They look
great! But I couldn't find the button. Alas... I suppose that's what I
get for mostly lurking these days. I have lost the privilege of replying!

Karen,

Under Help, go to Migration Assistant. On the first page, click "next." You should then get a page where it
gives you the option to keep your original toolbar buttons. Select that and see if it brings back your reply
button. I also found that with the way mine is set up, there's a reply button in the header box of the message
itself, and I don't think that was there before!

Now that just plain makes me mad. Who in the Sam Hill chose the words
'Migration Assistant' as a term in newsreaders? Dumb, dumb and dummer!
Grrr. I just can't imagine how on earth Louise figured that one out. Polly

That is along the lines of having to click 'start' in order to switch
off the computer.

Uh oh - I wonder when my TB will do an update. At least I'll know what
to do when I can't find the reply button anymore! Thx!

And as awful as the extremely tedious software for my embroidery machine.
To save a file, you have to click the B with the circle around it. ( I
spent years learning to put a circle around the A so I could write 'at'.
=) To change a font, you must click the big blue arrow. Twice. Once -
and it just sits there playing dead.
These pains make me wonder about the expression 'user friendly'. I
always wonder just what the user was using. Polly

Yes, Louise's paragraph worked. Only - my reply button used to be at
the top of the message, and now it is only on the newsgroup window. Ah,
well.

Karen,

It's just as Louise said, in the header box of the message you're
reading. It's actually very convenient once you know where to find it.

Or you can use "control r" just so you have another choice

Now that's handy! Because my reply button is not in the message header.
I did follow Louse's instructions, and it came back, but only into the
ng window. But 'control r' works great! TY!
