[pianotech] Delete key stopped working in Thunderbird (OT)

[Tom Rhea, Jr.]

Hi David,

This is just a guess, but it sounds like you might have picked up some sort
of virus or malware that affects your ability to delete in Mozilla.  If the
Delete key does, in fact, work in ALL of your other programs or applications
then a hardware cause is ruled out.  If the Delete key operated normally
from the beginning with Mozilla Thunderbird and then failed later, then the
only other option is to consider some sort of malware or virus.

I'm not sure what your Operating System is but if it's Windows XP (God, I
hope it's not Vista <yuck>), you might want to consider migrating your
e-mail client to Outlook Express.

Good Luck,
Tom

  Does anyone know why the Delete key should have stopped working in 
Thunderbird, the email client I use?

The Delete key on my laptop worked perfectly well to delete individual 
emails or selected groups of emails, since I installed the Mozilla 
Thunderbird email client. And then last week it just stopped. I 
installed the latest version to see if that would help, but no 
difference.  The Delete key works as normal in other programs.

I can't find much online about this.

Thanks,
