Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stopping-spam-and-looking-good dept.

KonijnenBunny writes "May 3rd sees the release of the 0.6 version of Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail and newsgroup client, featuring improved junk-mail controls and a new brand identity, including a new Firefox-style icon. I switched from some murky client which didn't exactly have a bright outlook regarding spam to Thunderbird a while back and was not dissapointed. Grab this latest version at Mozilla.org." Mac OS X users can also enjoy the new Pinstripe theme, which matches the previous theme of the same name applied to Firefox.

    It's a shame that as a small icon it looks terrible.

    So what is the big deal?

    Oooh, Mozilla released another minor revision to Thuderbird. Big deal. No new features, just improovements on the same theme.

    I'm sorry, but items like Vermont Yankee's missing fuel rodes or NASA using Hollywood stuntmen to catch falling space probes or even news about the world's earliest known BBQ seem a lot more like 'news for nerds' than a minor revision to an already well-known (in the OSS community) application.
