Hello boB,
On the latter I was surprised that Thunderbird did not support
conversation views out of the box.
After opening Thunderbird you will see a listing of your emails.
Clicking on the header of the very first column of the listing will give
you the conversation mode.
(Second column header is a star, third one the attachments. Be aware
that you can alter the columns shown, so things may be different in your
case).
Kind regards,
Ries

This is an update and a test to see if I have figured out
Thunderbird's settings so that everything comes over as plain text
instead of something else. If there are any issues let me know.
Friday the Mint crew announced that they were releasing their new
version of Mint, version 18, Sarah, so I went _bleeding edge_ and
tried to install it. Things did not go well in the sense that I was
not able to make a dual-boot installation where Windows 7 was on its
existing hard drive and Mint 18 on its own. As far as I can tell I
did everything correctly, but upon rebooting there was no option to go
to Mint; instead, the boot went directly to Windows 7. After many
hours of effort, searching, etc. (It was after 6 AM local time when I
gave up.) I decided to simply unplug the Windows 7 hard drive and plug
my new hard drive in its place. I successfully installed Mint 18 and
it booted up fine with one quirk. My understanding is that I would be
prompted to remove my installation USB drive prior to it rebooting,
but it didn't and this seemed to cause issues. On my repeat
installation effort I removed the USB drive myself when it appeared
that the system had just shut down. Things have gone well since.
I guess I will save the dual-boot effort for some other day.
Now I am updating things, playing with Firefox and Thunderbird, etc.
On the latter I was surprised that Thunderbird did not support
conversation views out of the box. I am currently testing an
extension, "Thunderbird Conversations", which is a bit different in
what I was expecting (Compared to Gmail.), but I suppose I will get
used to it.
We will see how the Linux experiment will work! My plan is to work my
way through the book, "How Linux Works", by Brian Ward. So that will
probably distract me from Python studies for a while.
Again, thanks for all of the help you've collectively given!
boB
