Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released

Posted by simoniker on from the thunderbird-is-go dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 is out! For those who haven't heard about it yet, Mozilla Thunderbird is mozilla.org's new standalone mail client and sister product to Mozilla Firebird. According to MozillaZine's article on the release, new features include 'a redesigned Options dialogue, spell checker improvements, enhancements to the default theme and better performance and stability'. More information can be found at the Mozilla Thunderbird Project Page and in the release notes (which include the important information that a clean install is vital). Builds are available for Windows (7.3Mb), Mac OS (11.1Mb) and Linux (9.5Mb) or you can download the source (29.1Mb) and build it yourself for extra geek points."

      yup - submitters are the lifeblood of slashdot yet they are treated like shit by the editors

      this could be rectified if the submission process was opened up as a transparent process (i.e. submission queue viewable by regular readers) but this proposal has been repeatedly rejected - it's hard not to see it as anything but a power play

    121 total comments, and it's still downloading at 210 K/sec. Either the /. effect has lost its might, or a large number of geeks have found other things to do tonight.

  7. Jumping into the [OT] fray... by mhesseltine · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    First, to jark (the grandparent), take it in stride. As you can see by my Journal, I've been in the same boat (posting stories that get rejected, only to have the story show up within the next day or two.)

    Second, solferino, you and I and a bunch of other people know that, in fact, the submitters of stories, and those who post in them, are the lifeblood of slashdot. We're the ones who create the content that Taco and crew sell access to via subscriptions.

    Third, (while I'm ranting), according to the last IRC chat, several readers suggested features, to which Taco replied with "Patches are welcome." If slashdot was still being run out of Rob's basement in Michigan, I could see pimping for patches. However, these guys get paid from OSDN. It's their job to keep the site up to date, and add features.

    If you are running Gentoo Linux, all your software is custom-compiled and optimized for your hardware. Not to brag or anything :)
