RSSMozilla Delivers New Thunderbird Beta
By the Betanews Staff | Published December 14, 2006, 1:35 PM
Mozilla earlier this week issued a public beta of the next version of its Thunderbird e-mail client, making enhancements to the overall design of the product as well as improved support for extensions, the plug-in architecture for the application. In addition, new features including the use of tags as a way to organize e-mail, and forward and back buttons to cycle through e-mail much like web pages were also added. The beta is available for the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms.
In separate news, Mozilla delayed an expected security release for versions 1.5 and 2.0 of its Firefox browser. Originally scheduled to be delivered automatically to users starting this Tuesday, the update has been pushed back to December 19. No reason for the delay was given.
It's about time!

Maybe but it does it with ads and while looking like feces smeared on the wall.

You can't even compose emails in HTML with Opera mail, opera is a fine browser but it's email client can't be compared to Thunderbird which is way richer, is extandable and doesn't depend on a browser to work.
And I don't even talk about basic stuff for enterprise use such as LDAP, email encryption and signing, webcal calendaring...

That kinda sums you up. The type of people that send all this HTML email...
HTML is for websites, plan text and attachments are for emails.. Neverthetwain shall meet..
I assume by your comment, that you don't use a browser, and borrowed someone's PC to post this..

Yeah sure, not being able to use Opera mail in a corporate envioronment where HTML mail is commonplace, like it or not, where people digitally sign and encrypt their messages and where you use LDAP is the proof that Opera Mail is so superior to Mozilla Thunderbird, talk about being a fanboy...
Table based design is bad practice, you should suggest Opera developpers to refuse to display pages that use tables for layout, just for consistency sake withb their email program !!
