             Mozilla wants to be shut of Thunderbird.  Maybe that is why 
they
are changing things to which the long time users are accustomed.

     Lucky you.  I checked that Superuser site and it had nothing useful.
     I tried to leave a message but since I don't seem to be using 
Javascript
by default, it may have not gone up to the site.

     It reads that I deplore the trend in Thunderbird to deprecate Text 
only buttons
and that the meaningless icon is placed far from the rest of the control 
panel.

     If Mageia supported Icedove I would use it.
