Thanks for the hint. Actually, it never came into my mind that THAT
would work against autorun. In my mind I have played with the thought
that I may find a panel with settings, and to disable the autorun
setting.

OTOH, that machine is mostly used to transfer files (bulletins), from
USB sticks to diskettes, because it has the plug-in diskette drive.

I'm still fighting Thunderbird. I want it to get the new messages
immeadetely to my HD, to be read/edited (bulletins), offline.

As it now seems to function, it seems to wait for me to save those
messages while still online.

I have sent e-mails to @blueprintsoftware.com, that are the authors of
the PMMailWin mail program, and tried to connect to their site, without
success.

I certainly would want somebody reading this, to alert me how to connect
to that company, or at least give me a hint of where I could get a more
up-to-date version.

The PMMailWin2000 I have installed needs NTVDM as per a note at the
installation process, but refuses to connect to my mail server, at least
when running under Win10.

I have a "Dummy file for NTVDM" in the autoexec.bat - but that's all I
know about NTVDM.

OTOH, I don't know how use this NTVDM when starting the program, and
neither did the guy at the ISP, so he took the easy way out to install
Thunderbird. I didn't tell him to install it on E:\ , so it now resides
on C:\mozilla\thunderbird.

JP>     Are we alone in this world ?

I think that's up to ourselves. The message activity is certainly low.
I seem to be occupied for at least five years after my death ;o).
