So, to repeat, I was given no offer to install any plugins, since none
were listed. However, despite my previous failure with the passwords,
I restored the oldest version of clawsrc and my plugins were restored.
What is going on, I know not, but, to my relief I'm able to reply to
your message using Claws Mail! (Plug: Claws Mail is a lot - and I mean
a *lot* - more user-friendly than Yahoo's web mail.)

I'll see what else I can restore and maybe take things from there.

Question: what is the purpose of clawsrc? What crucial information does
it contain that other files don't?

Thanks for all the help. I may be back,
