Sometimes I put up with computer stupidity much longer than I should. By default, Thunderbirdpositions the cursor at the bottom of the e-mail body when replying to an e-mail instead of at the top. I couldn’t figure out how to change it, so instead I rewired my brain to press Ctrl+r, Ctrl+Home to reply.
Today I decided enough is enough. After a brief Google search I found the solution to setting the reply position on e-mails to the top instead of the bottom. The stupid thing is that it’s not an application-wide setting, it’s an account setting.
1. In Thunderbird: Go to “Edit > Account Settings” *
2. Select “Composition & Addressing” for the account in question
3. Make sure the “Automatically quote the original message when replying” checkbox is checked.
4. In the dropdown box below that, select the option “start my reply above the quote”
This worked for Thunderbird 1.5, ymmv
* update: on Windows, the option can be found in: Tools -> Account Settings.
update 2: If you’re commenting to say “thank you”: You’re welcome!

Changing the icon on the Flash Projector

This is probably something really easy, but I’m an actionscripter/programmer and not an artist. So I was wondering, for when I export an .exe from flash, it has it’s icon still…as the original Flash, and I was wondering how I could change the icon for it. I really don’t want to go into opening up the program and changing some code in it or I could screw up the whole Flash Projector program. Basically, I’m saying, how do I change my .exe icon for the Flash Projector?

Tundrbird mail client Printing messages without full headers
To view messages without the full headers, go to the “View” menu and select “Headers -> Normal”. This will display messages with only minimal headers. The viewing mode that you have selected should apply when you print messages as well.
To print a message without any headers at all (only the message body), right-click on the message and select “Edit As New…” (or go to the “Message” menu and select “Edit Message As New…”). The message will open in a new window. If you print it from there, it should come out with no headers at all. If you see HTML tables in the message appear with altered formatting (awkward red borders), don’t worry, it will still come out ok on the printed page.
You could also use the PrintingTools extension to print a message without headers. It has many other features that can modify the printing layout.
