...but my originals are? When I hit "reply" the person's email addy comes up. I clicked "newsgroup" on the addy drop-down list, but no luck. Argh!

Hmmm... Mine defaults to newsgroup & fills in rec.crafts.textiles.quilting. What do you have in the "reply to" field in your account settings? Mine is blank. But it seems that should only matter for folks who are replying to one of your messages.

I had that in a previous version of Thunderbird, but it seems to have reverted to "reply to ng" as being the default in my current version (31.6.0).

Julia, I found out if I click on "followup" it [Thunderbird] replies directly to the NG, but "reply" goes to the person's email.
Whahoo!

Lizzy, is there a "next unread" button?
Whahoo!

Hi Jeri,
Yes there is, as I have it on my toolbar, but I don't think it is part of the default button set. You can customise your toolbar buttons by right clicking on the tool bar and selecting "Customize...". Then drag & drop the buttons you want onto your toolbar.

Or just use the "n" key...

I don't have "Followup" on my toolbar and reply works fine. I'm on Thunderbird release 31.6.0. Strange...

On my toolbar I have a "Reply", and next to it is "Reply to Group" that shows up my reply that shows on my computer. Hope this helps! Barbara in rainy SC

I've got reply button and next to that "follow-up". I use that one to reply to group, does that help?

Follow-up works! Thanks!
