I would quote some relevant context as to what "this" is, but not only 
do you like http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU and don't use correct 
quoting style, but you seem to have snipped all usable context as well.

You might try http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/; I believe its default 
configuration is more friendly. If you can't (or don't want to) use it 
with your e-mail, you can always use news://news.gmane.org and use TB 
only as a newsreader.

Nope, it isn't just you. I've seen a similar error - often if I try to 
ctrl-C things - but it hasn't caused me enough problems (none, really) 
to complain about it.
