Thanks Gene. Since I found out I had to have the reinstall done I
started thinking about the portable thunderbird because I lost my entire
address book and will have to rebuild it slowly as messages come in
since I don't remember most of the addresses I had. As you said if I had
been using portable thunderbird all along it would've saved me part of
the headache of reinstalling some of the programs that I'm now having to
install since I would've already had thunderbird ready to go.
