I don't think I remember having to do anything like that. (But it's 
academic now anyway, I fear.)

When I heard about Eudora_OSE, I thought great: I can get my friend 
using Thunderbird which would be more future-proof, and would give him 
something that would work on Windows 7, which he'd just switched to. 
But: (a) it may look like Eudora to a sighted person but didn't to a 
blind person, (b) we found that "real" Eudora worked fine under 7 (and 
indeed 10, so far!), (c) the version of Thunderbird it used was a very 
early one - version 4? - and I think it's been abandoned altogether.

Yes, I read mozilla.general and have gathered that they broke a lot of 
extensions recently in much the same way they did with Firefox; I gather 
that the very latest version has broken yet another popular extension. 
(So I've downloaded Thunderbird Setup 52.9.1.exe, which various people 
said was the last to suit lots of extensions, in case I ever need it. 
[I've also got several of the extensions.])
