@DavidinNormandy: "Has the Thunderbird user interface changed recently? i.e. the Reply 
button? I'm sure I used to click that to reply to posts in newsgroups 
but now it sends a reply to the email address of the poster instead.
I don't remember having to hit a "Followup" button before?
It is annoying. I keep forgetting this "Followup" button and keep 
accidentally sending email replies to posters instead of to the newsgroups."
    @news: "<quote>
Yes, it has. Annoying, as I've been doing the same thing. It used to be 
"Reply to Newsgroup" IIRC."

I think if you use the toolbar in the message pane it *has* changed, I 
wouldn't know because I use the traditional toolbar below the menu.
They seem to have got rid of the quick way of reverting under the Help 
menu, you'd have to right click the offending menu bar and use 
customise, presumably it's the "Smart Reply" button that's causing the 
confusion?"
    @DavidinNormandy: "<quote>
That works! Thank you! Yes, right click the menu bar then drag the 
'Reply' button to the customization window. That only leaves the 
'Followup' button which I should get used to now because there is no 
'Reply' button to keep accidentally using."
    @tnp: "<quote>
make sure you are not hitting the reply to all button.
Followup is for servers that don't like cross posting

    @newspam: "<quote>
Yes. Annoying "Improvement" that.
The User interface upgraded itself spontaneously about last Friday. 
Caught me out several times before I used right click "Customise" to 
re-arrange buttons so that Follow-up is in the right place on Usenet 
newsgroups and then that Reply-To-All is not the default for email.
Not sure if the latter behaviour wasn't in part due to me meddling with 
the drag&drop options of the GUI.

Mozilla are preparing to dump Thunderbird. Time to move to something
else?

    @DavidinNormandy: "<quote>
I'm open to suggestions. I've found Thunderbird going downhill with each 
new release. I only want a simple email + newsgroup client where the 
emails are stored on my computer, not in some cloud or webserver.
The more features they add to this sort of software the more irritating 
it becomes to tame and use and more and more of the screen is cluttered 
up with crap I don't want."

The previous update wouldn't run at all here, until I found they had
played with the default Internet settings.
If my wife didn't use it, I would never have anything to do with
Thunderbird again. She only uses it for mail.
I use Agent.

When I used a pc I liked Agent and thought it was an excellent program. 
 On my Mac, I use Unison as a newsreader.

Yes.  I hadn't noticed it because I don't use the mouse when I could use 
the keyboard.  I always reply by hitting ctrl-r, which still works 
correctly.

Something much more serious. My wife had two large address
distribution lists, after the latest Thunderbird update she only has
one. Luckily I had made a back up of the lists, but she still had to
import and bring the missing list up to date

Funny you should say that - I've hit reply 4 times in the past few days 
instead of follow-up.  I did download a "new improved" version a few 
days ago.
