In the past I would just enter "users" in the "To " space and would get the list entry users@lists.fedoraproject.org. Somehow that now gets attached to send to a person instead of the list. Have to explicitly type in the list address. Is there a fix?
I would suggest trying setting an entry in the address book for the list, I'd expect that to take priority over some kind of auto- completion of an address it's found in a folder. Check your address book hasn't acquired a "users" entry. Some email clients (optionally) automatically add addresses to the address book when you reply to a message. If so, remove or alter it.
You could set your own unique name for the address in the address book if you can't stop it auto-completing users to the wrong address.
e.g. FU could be Fedora Users. ;-)
Thunderbird keeps continually telling me it wants to compact the mails storage for what is a trivial amount of space, Is there a way to make it use a reasonable size to do the prompt?
If you right-click on a folder, are there options for this?
I probably have an old version installed, but I only see options about deleting old messages (by age, or by the number of messages in the folder). Though, I only use IMAP, and local storage is caching rather than storage, so I may see different options than for other schemes.
But in the main settings there is a sub-section about disk space, that sound like they might offer what you want:
Disk Space
Your cache is currently using 330 KB of disk space
[ ] Override automatic cache management Use up to [250] MB of space for the cache
[✔] Compact all folders when it will save over [20] MB in total [✔] Ask every time before compacting
I set the font size to small but it always reverts to medium, where would a permanent setting be located?
Where are you setting this? When reading a message, or in general settings? I'd expect in the settings to be a permanent setting, but overrides in the reader may be transient.
There are options for allowing messages to use other fonts, and different fonts for different alphabets. You may have a HTML email specifying certain font sizes overriding your preferences.
