When I open a new email draft or forward an email, Mozilla inserts a long string of text that appears to be details of my account. The text string begins with: Application Basics

This is only about 1/3 of the text. The text is grayed out and I can delete it before sending, but it's a pain. How can I stop this? Thanks.

That's very weird! That text is the output of the Troubleshooting Information window. (Go to [=] > Help > Troubleshooting Information then click Copy text to Clipboard. )

The question is: why is it automatically attached to messages? I suspect you have it set up as a signature. If you go to [=] > Options > Account Settings , is that text in the Signature text box? If so, delete the text from that box.

Chris, that appears to have solved the problem. I suspected that something like this was happening (and probably self-inflicted) but couldn't find a place that would be adding it to every message.

MANY THANKS. Larry.
