Ubuntu 7.1 and Thunderbird

Asked by peter

Hello

I've a question. But I'm not sure, if you can help. If you can't, it's ok. I've UBUNTU 7.10.

In the Thunderbird EMail client I can install new language dictionaries. I'v a click named "Download more dictionaries". If I click this string nothing will happen. Why not?

A similar problem happens, if I got an EMail containing a web address. If I click the web address, the browser doesn't open (if the browser is closed) and if the browser is already open the web address will not work in the browser.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Peter

Take from previous page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/dictionaries.html
Installing a new dictionary into your version of Mozilla Thunderbird is easy.
A) You can drag the url for the desired dictionary listed below and drop it on the extensions manager window in Thunderbird (Tools / Extensions).
B) Or, you can save the dictionary file locally on your hard drive.
Under Tools / Extensions, press the Install button and then select the file you saved.
After successfully installing the dictionary, you will not see it listed in the extension manager.
It will appear in the list of available dictionaries in the spell checker dialog.

I suggest you the B method, and after restart Thunderbird.

Hope this helps

Hi marcobra

Thanks a lot. I've got a solution. I installed it again with Synaptic and now it runs perfect.

Have a nice time and be well.
