Ubuntu
thunderbird package

8.04: Thunderbird

Asked by peter

Hi

If I write an email the first characters (sometimes also lines) of the mail are lesser than the rest of the text of the mail. In the prefereces under Composition the size of the font is medium and I think the rest of the text of the mail is written in medium.

What do I have to do to get the whole text in the size medium? Thanks in advance.
Peter

You could add this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa

And upgrade, it may help.

Thanks, man. But how can I download the package? I couldn't find a possibility.

thunderbird 3.0.6~hg20100624r4868+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~hardy is listed.

OK run:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

add these 2 lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Save the new file, close gedit then run:

o apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 247510BE

Then run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Should upgrade firefox and thunderbird. You should then try thunderbird to see if the update fixes your issue.

o apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 247510BE: bash: o: command not found. I guess it's a mistake.
