Hi Mark,

Actually, I don't want to disable autorun, on the contrary, I want to
disable the AVG's control of it. IOW, I want to decide when/if I want
the autorun to work.

I know how I can disable the control of autorun in Windows, but not how
to do it in AVG.

Thunderbird, that is.

I do not want to read newsgroups offline, I want to get the swedish and
finnish bulletins to the INBOX immeadetely when I ask "Get mail", not to
have to save them first from the list that presents them.

Hmm, I don't want to click anything extra to get the bulletins (msgs) to
my HD for reading/editing/replying. That is the way the PMMail program
for OS/2 worked as long as I was able to use the POTS connection with my
ISP.

That is the way I want to have it, but the PMMailWin program wasn't able
to connect to my ISP via my laptops "Mobile Internet". Neither was the
guru at my ISP able to get it working, so he installed Thunderbird.

ml> it is just so much easier to subscribe to the groups and read the
ml> messages as they are pulled down without having to play with the
ml> online/offline mess... especially if you have an "always on"
ml> connection (eg: cable or dsl) anyway...

Of course I have subscribed to the bulletins, they wouldn't come here
to my account otherwise, but I have not used T-Bird to subscribe to them

I have saved your message for later reading, to see if I have something
to learn from it.


Have a nice day,

Holger
