[Magdalen] Thunderbird Question

[Sibyl Smirl]

Sorry, Jim, I use Thunderbird, and I'd help if I could, but no idea off 
the top of my head how to solve your problem.  When I have  one I poke 
around in the prefs and in that top "Local Folders" "place" until I 
either persuade t-bird to do what I want, or give up and work around it, 
and I haven't had to deal with one at all similar to yours.
