Dear List Subscribers,


If you want to help (or at least not make it more difficult) please:

* do NOT reply to spam, ever! (this makes it hard or even impossible to
remove it from the archives, since it is now a part of a legitimate
thread)

* do NOT quote spam, not even partially (this confuses the filters)

* DO report spam only by bouncing it to report-listspam@lists.debian.org

Note: "bouncing" is also called "redirect" in some mail clients and is
*not* forwarding (should probably mention this in the wiki).U
In over 25 years of email I have never come across this, so much to
learn so little time.

Any idea how to do this in Thunderbird?
So I tried to install thunderbird to see whether I can have a go
at it.

No way. Thing wanted to set up an account and refused to play
with me without one.

You mean an email client wanted you to setup an email account? Wow, how absurd :)

Hello thunderbird: if you insist in infantilizing your users
this way, I won't ever be your friend. Furrfu.

Seriously, what account? Never, ever, been asked to do anything untoward when installing Thunderbird and I've done it thousands of times, quite literally.
