from the Mozilla Suite to Thunderbird was because i heard there was an 
extension to Thunderbird to allow vi editing for composing email.  Now i 
can't find it!  Not on google or mozilla.org.  Does anybody know 
anything about this?

Yes!!  i found it.  I should have remembered my "Google Hacks."  I 
finally tried searching for "vim thunderbird" instead of "vi 
thunderbird."  This led me to http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=851 
which lead me to External Editor 
(http://globs.chez.tiscali.fr/moz_extensions/exteditor.html) which is a 
FANTASTIC Thunderbird plug in.  It allows you to use ANY external editor 
to compose/reply to your email from Thunderbird.  i am using it now.

Sorry for wasting any bandwidth here.  i am so used to using to vi that 
often i find myself using vi commands and movements in other programs.  
This is how i discovered that i can use the "/" key in Firefox to do a 
search instead of cntrl+f.  

Thanks to anybody that has comments about this post.
