I have several of issues with the latest Thunderbird e-mail tool that came down via dnf
lately; thunderbird-91.1.0-1.fc34.x86_64. (Prior version was 78.something.) Some are just
annoying; one is major.
First, annoying. Starting a new message, the Send button is grayed out *IF* there is
anything in the Bcc field. As I normally Bcc myself on all messages, this hits every time.
Clearing the field, re-enables the Send button. Refilling the Bcc field does NOT cause
the Send button to go gray.
Second, more annoying, when trying to reply to a message, the Send box is grayed out and
cannot be restored, even by clearing the Bcc box. I have not found any way to actually
send a reply (other than to go to my mobile phone and do it there).
Third, less annoying, access to my local on-disk mailspool (referred to in Thunderbird as
"movemail") has disappeared. Not a big deal, as I can review local logfiles with
a command-line mailtool like good ole 'mailx.'
Fourth, and a major problem, my Address Book has disappeared. The data appears to still be
there, as I can start typing an address and have it auto-completed, but the address book
itself appears empty, and can't be opened for browsing.
FLASH: after all this Send totally fails, even though button appears active, so this saved
draft was called up and sent from phone.
