No, I never had this sort of problem (opening Thunderbird by mistake).
Copernic shows the message content on its own without invoking
Thunderbird. But then, I don't think I have ever tried extracting an
attachment from the Copernic interface.
My warning against opening Thunderbird is based on an untested
assumption: that there might be enough differences between the two
products that could cause problems. But, as I said, I never tested it.
Addendum: in view of your success, I went on and updated my Thunderbird,
taking the necessary precautions (reverting the profiles.ini file to the
original settings). It went without a hitch.
Then, I decided to get creative, and try a new hypothesis... setting up
TB so the Seamonkey profile would be listed on the profiles.ini, but as
a SECONDARY profile.
Well, it didn't work. It seems Copernic only indexes the default TB
profile. Had to set it up again as the primary TB profile...
And... while messing with it, I accidentally *DID* start TB with the SM
profile. And now I can confirm it: it DID mess my profile a bit,
although not seriously -- changed my theme to "Modern" for some reason,
triggered that "checking your add-ons after update" thing and such. I
didn't notice anything SERIOUS, I was back to normal in a couple
minutes. But it may be too early to tell if there were any more
important consequences.
Anyway, now I have actual data to recommend NOT opening Thunderbird
after setting it up for the Copernic workaround. I don't think it will
cause dataloss, but it IS a bother.
apropos this *is* a seamonkey panel, not *thunderbird*
sincerely,
