Thanks for the heads-up. My updated version of Thunderbird does not seem to be behaving like the old. I have to figure out what the new problem is.

I figured it out, I think. The new incarnation of Thunderbird substituted the "Reply To Group" button with a "Forward" button. "Reply" replies by email. Maybe that will help someone.

Hadn't noticed that, but mainly because I mostly lurk. Thanks for the "heads up". The "Followup" button sends your reply to the newsgroup.

I only use Thunderbird for newsgroups, I prefer a different app for my email, I customize the toolbar with previous and next buttons fo skipping to the next unread post, and delete the buttons related to email. I don't even set up any email accounts within TB so there is no chance of my accidentally emailing anyone.

That is smart! The more email accounts you acquire, the more complicated it gets! %-)
I like your idea of customizing the toolbar. I'll look into that.

Don't click the icon, simply right click the post and select "Followup to Newsgroup".
