Everything. I am able to list the messages and scroll through each folder,
but when I select a message the message view pane is blank. It doesn't even
show header info or option buttons. It doesn't matter on the age of the
message, I can go back to 2007 and select a message from there and get the
same results. As far as folder types, it involves all, local, and imap. I
even tried archiving all my ale messages from 2007 which took about 1 hour
Sat. evening, and today still no joy. Is it possible 1 bad message could be
causing this. It was fine the night before this started, I did allow several
updates before shutting down, but the updates shouldn't have had any impact
on Thunderbird I don't think. Although I usually reboot and start up at
least FF, Thunderbird, GnuCash, & OOo Calc, to verify that all is well, I
didn't this time though, so I'm beginning to think that maybe the updates
did break something even though they shouldn't have had anything to do with
Thunderbird I don't think.
