[dba-Tech] RE: Cannot get rid of spam!

Francisco,

Following your advice I installed Mozilla Thunderbird to my son's PC and
I've got this problem:

Sending of message failed.
Unable to open the temporary file C:\DOCUME~1\<should be five cyrillic
chars here - they are shown incorrectly in the
message>\TEMP\nsmail.html.
Check your "Temporary Directory" settings.

Here is a picture with this message box:

I tried to find any description how to solve it but failed - did I look
in wrong places?

Well, as far as I can guess the problem is with cyrillic chars - I tried
to find is there any way to assign in Options a temp dir, which name
will include only latin chars but I didn't find such option. When they
say "Temporary Directory" they probably mean Windows settings...

What for in needed this nsmail.html?
How to solve this problem? - help and google didn't answer on this
question....

TIA,
Shamil

Mozilla Thunderbird client (.5a) beta.. it is sweet, neat features,
fast, no bloat, and no worries when one of these viruses or spam come
thorugh
