yeah what _you_ call, or even what the techies call it, may not work for
the next person which is why detailed literal descriptions are
preferable for discussing technical problems;
Well not to put to fine a point on it, but it seems to me there should
be universal terms for something as simple as the list of emails in your
inbox - and when I said I didnt know what the techies called it
I was just trying to say I never learned what it's proper name is.
NOt that these things dont change with the whim of the software guys.
directories became folders at some point, to name one such, I'm sure ya
know :-)
don't get me started on the odd names for the functions of certain

Thunderbird can lay out > the screen many different ways,
I'll confess to not knowing that... as the whole reason I switched from
Ntscape is that Thunderbird recognized how Netscape was layed out when
you first open email.
but your description was enough to
induce that "opened my index page" meant launching the app; that and

it is a Windows/Thunderbird problem, and was fixed by a recent

Right - i didn't think it was _related_ other than possibly being things
that
were going bump because of recent automatic updates. IT did occur to me
that having a separate window open playing Wors with FRiends on facebook
might be a part of the problem
