Usenet is not an e-mail venue.  Reply All does not apply.  Reply will
copy the Newsgroups header from the post to which you reply into your
own post.  A respondent would have to edit that header in their reply
before submitting it.  Maybe Thunderbird works different than many other
NNTP clients that I've used.

Have her remove the other Bluetooth host from her PC's Bluetooth devices
list.  I don't use OS/X (presumably what is on the Mac).  In Windows, I
enter "bluetooth" in the Start menu search bar and select "Bluetooth
Devices".  Another is to run "C:\Windows\System32\control.exe
bthprops.cpl" (sans quotes).  I don't have any connected to my computer
right now but I suspect you right-click on a device and either
disconnect/disable it or delete that connectoid.

Google's info-hit looks like you do similar on Mac OS/X.
