    That seems to make scrolling through the e-mail list manageable
    again as long as I disable the "New Scroll Bars addon" to
    Thunderbird. That addon allows increasing the size, etc. But I can
    do without that.

    Thank you for the tip.

    I probably would not notice this since I always reconfigure the
    terminal appearance for a larger white font on a black background
    which works better for my aging eyesight. I also prefer Deja vu sans
    mono because I can easily differentiate between I, 1, and l.

    Again thanks,

    Bob
