Zoom in on a Web pageWith Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 you can make Web pages easier to read by magnifying the page (zooming in). If you zoom in, everything on the Web page will be magnified (including text, images, and controls). Zooming will change the magnification of the Web site, regardless of the Web site’s formatting.

Thunderbird reply position
Jul 24th
Sometimes I put up with computer stupidity much longer than I should. By default, Thunderbirdpositions the cursor at the bottom of the e-mail body when replying to an e-mail instead of at the top. I couldn’t figure out how to change it, so instead I rewired my brain to press Ctrl+r, Ctrl+Home to reply.
Today I decided enough is enough. After a brief Google search I found the solution to setting the reply position on e-mails to the top instead of the bottom. The stupid thing is that it’s not an application-wide setting, it’s an account setting.
1. In Thunderbird: Go to “Edit > Account Settings” *
2. Select “Composition & Addressing” for the account in question
3. Make sure the “Automatically quote the original message when replying” checkbox is checked.
4. In the dropdown box below that, select the option “start my reply above the quote”
This worked for Thunderbird 1.5, ymmv
* update: on Windows, the option can be found in: Tools -> Account Settings.
update 2: If you’re commenting to say “thank you”: You’re welcome!
