When I got up this morning, I looked at rec.arts.tv as usual to see if there were any interesting posts but whenever I clicked on a post, Thunderbird claimed that it was expired, even though I was looking at something that had been posted within thepast 24 hours. I've had that problem before and always resolved it by unsubscribing and then resubscribing. But today, that didn't work: after I resubscribed, Thunderbird insisted that there were no messages in rec.arts.tv!
I tried subscribing to another newsgroup and chose one based on Thunderbird so that I could conceivably get some help with my issue but it was empty too. Then I deleted the Thunderbird newsgroup and tried to unsubscribe/resubscribe to rec.arts.tv butthen I wasn't even getting a list of newsgroups!!!
I went to the official Mozilla forum for Thunderbird and described my problem there. The only response I got suggested that Eternal Septemeber itself might be having problems.line and keeps scrolling ever further right and I don't know how to stop that behaviour.
Is anyone else having trouble with Eternal September today?
By the way, let me apologize if the formatting on this post is as bad as I think it might be. I found out there was a web-based Usenet service called Newsgrouper so that's what I'm using as a stopgap to post this. But it just leaves everything on one

No problems here and it looks like Adam isn't having issues either.

I also am not having problems with ES.
It sounds to me like a Thunderbird issue - on my end, my Thunderbird
will "expire" old articles (3+ months?). So it sounds like rhino's Thunderbird is glitching.

If there is, it's Kerman's fault.
BTW, is your return key broken?
Nope. Newsgrouper has no provision to set a width for wrapping posts
when you're writing it (or if it does, I haven't found it yet).
Fortunately, I have Thunderbird working again which *does* have
auto-wrap as you can see in this reply.

I tried using Thunderbird for Usenet but since I'm at least as
interested in binaries as text don't use it for anything but e-mail.
(And as national secretary of a non-profit I >DO< do plenty of mass
mailings though have talked to my ISP's tech support people to explain
my situation and keep myself out of their "spammer list")
(Though am apparently blocked from LinkedIn which is a problem since
I'm now retired though my LinkedIn profile doesn't say that since I
can't get into it)
