Maybe Thunderbird works different than many other NNTP clients that I've used. > A friend of mine has linked her SO's iPhone 6S, I think, to his Windows > 8.1 computer.

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. https://www.google.com/search?q=mac%20os/x%20delete%20bluetooth%20device Google's info-hit looks like you do similar on Mac OS/X.
