Good morning,
I note with interest the new version of Thunderbird.
I have been using it as a replacement for Outlook Express (which I dearly loved) since moving over to Windows 7.
I recently upgraded to V5 but chnaged back when I found I couldnt find an add on for spell checking or resizing photos.
would you be aware if add ons are available for this V6 ……ie to check spelling and resize photos?
Cheers
John
