Re: [PLUG] Thunderbird questions

[Michel van der List <plug@vanderlist.com>]

Not sure if this is still an outstanding question, but I use Thunderbird 
daily on Linux.

Diacritics are dependent on your underlying framework. I use Fedora with 
Gnome and there, you need to set up the Gnome Compose key, which due to 
the infinite wisdom of the gnome developers is hidden in the tweaks app 
and turned off by default. Let me know if this help at all, or if you 
actually already knew all of that.

As an aside, Thunderbird is (to me anyway) a bit of a pain about 
formatting, but I just ignore it.
