    Whatever. I'm not going to be burned again by Thunderbird, and I was offering information so others wouldn't. But hey, go right ahead and use it. I've already switched email clients to Eudora. In the meantime, y'all can go about blithely thinking that Thunderbird is secure until you get screwed. Good luck.

    It's things like this that make desktop Linux look like it's copying Windows way too closely.

    Look like? They are completely ripping off Windows. It just goes to show how fucking pathetic all of this open source garbage really is. It's just a sorry-assed attempt at copying real software.
