What is the most reliable version available now? I've read of so many
problems I can't keep up with them, and I've been afraid to upgrade,

the site where the downloads are.
Anyone have a feeling which version has the least problems now? I'm
being pushed to do this, because when I was forced to use Firefox the
other day to do something, they updated it to version 31. [I didn't
know
it was set to auto update, I have now changed that.] I will
appreciate
any suggestions to reduce my anxiety, and take pity on me, because I'm
old. :)

I'm also still on 2.26.1, Win XP.
I'm not having any major problems with it other than some minor IMAP
issues that are easy to deal with. From what I can tell the few
versions after all have bugs that would be show stoppers for me.
I read this group all the time, and that is the opinion I had formed.
Lately I decided I might risk 2.26.l, but before I did, wanted to
check to see if more people than I thought, were using the very latest
versions ... with no problems. :)
I'm not worried about security. I keep the big holes (Flash, Acrobat,
Java, etc) up to date, use Addblock Plus which tends to stop a lot of
virus believe it or not and have good virus software.
The only hacks I have ever gotten since the 1990s are due to Acrobat,
Java, or Flash exploits. I don't open stupid things.
That's essentially how I feel about my usage as well. What's most
important to me is the stability of mail and newsgroup functions, and
since my friends and I use HTML for mail sharing of news, photos,
etc., the changes with HTML are presenting a problem I want to avoid.
Lately some image attachments have not been copied in my mail replies
as well.
I wanted to thank each person individually that responded to my plea
for help, but that would just fill the newsgroup needlessly, so I hope
my thanks here will suffice. :) I was glad to see that some of you
are using 2.33 successfully, and I will read it's release notes again
... just in case, I feel daring when I start this project. ;) Like
Stan, I'm still on 2.17.1 because I don't need to be in sync with all
the world's gadgets ... just able to read websites that continually
change. ;) The comments about HTML mail editor from cmcadams sort
of reinforce my feelings about 2.26.1 being a safe move though.
"Thanks again everyone!" I probably will screw something up and be
back, after I attempt the upgrade. Hope you're still as patient with
me. :)
