Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released
Random BedHead Ed writes "The latest release of Mozilla Thunderbird, the standalone Mozilla mail program, has been released and is available for download here. A quick scan of the release notes shows some new improvements and features, including a new look, bug fixes, and for Linux users the ability to click on a URL in an e-mail and have it actually launch in your default web browser (how novel). Download and enjoy..."
Yes it already does this, and has done since 0.2 at least! Works perfectly :-) Good question, too....
Yes it does, in the options under advanced settings, privacy there is an option to "Block loading of remote images in mail messages".
Integration of PGP/GPG into Mozilla is called Enigmail. I was going to link to its project page on www.mozdev.org but it's just not loading for me right now. I don't know how well the integration of Enigmail into Thunderbird works, since I can't look it up. However I have used it in Mozilla mail (I don't converse with anyone who gives a shit about encryption so I stopped caring about it) and it works quite cleanly. However, if you want to give it a shot, visit the thunderbird extensions page and click the xpi link.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
