Posted by michael on from the sunday-morning-fun dept.

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..."

    Even though I don't use Thunderbird (I use Firebird and expletive deleted)...

    I have used Thunderbird and Firebird for quite some time (sorry all, usually on M$ platform). I used to use Netscape for everything until it became so AOH3llish - I'm extremely happy that the Mozilla platform is still here. They have an excellent product, and it acutally runs as an app, not part of the OS - this and the better usability are the primary reasons it is a must-have on any PC that I use.

    from the mozilla/ firebird website, it says that firebird's developed and targetted mostly for windows - although it's cross platform obviously - but unfortunately it seems that the application's speed/ responsive under linux is quite slower than on windows... quite noticable...

    could this be X's fault?

    Some of us run Windows, actually.
