1. For years, I would email stories from the NYTimes to my Google mailbox. Each email contains a link to the online story. 2. Next, I would download the emails via Thunderbird to my desktop. I would open the emails and click on the link when ready to read the story on line and I would be taken to the correct page on nytimes.com 3. Beginning about a month ago, while the links are "live" (blue) and work as intended when I view them on Gmail, they are no longer any good (not live, not blue) after downloading and opening the messages on Thunderbird.

Q. Does anyone know for sure what happened with Thunderbird that would cause this to happen?

Please DO NOT GUESS and please do not reply if you do not know the answer.

You're not only just guessing, but you failed to recreate the process I described in my post. Please don't bother to reply.

We have no idea, so I will close the topic.

As you appear unwilling to participate in a diagnostic process we can not help you as the problem appears to be unique to you.

What a worthless forum this is.
