Hi, Nil Alexandrov : All!
I read your message from 19.10.2019 16:51

I use Thunderbird 31.7.0 + ftnQuoter 0.9.2. FtnQuoter works more or less, but
certainly it doesn't work in any area taken from Tommy's NNTP server. I don't
know why. I use here another quoter of my own design.

Thunderbird has a neat feature you can set up your message base to be on a
flash drive. In this case you don't need synchronizes messages if you use
Thunderbird at several computers.

Bye, Nil!
