Must-Have Extensions for Thunderbird 2.0
Operator writes "While Firefox has been in the spotlight for some time now, Thunderbird has yet to enjoy the same wide adoption or glowing praise despite being an excellent email client. It's no surprise that a popular topic has been Firefox's best (and worst) extensions while Thunderbird add-ons have gone largely unnoticed. In celebration of the recent release of Thunderbird 2.0 here are the best extensions for the program along with some honorable mentions."
I have tried thunderbird on windows but to me, other than it's free, i dont like it, i like to be able to use word as an editor, and there is so much more features in Outlook.
One other thing that annoyed me (maybe that was a setup i did not find) was that when you answered the e-mail it worked like MAC the answer was at the bottom so you had to scroll down to read the answer,,,very very annoying.
But again my sister and my brother in law both use MAC and their answers always show at the bottom of the e-mail never on top, so i guess it might be something that's just missing.

Difficult to read only if you have a retarded client that does not order textes by reply order.
Eh? What sort of fucked up reasoning is that? A lot of people inter-mingle their reply with the original text: what does your clever email client do then? Oh that's right, it fucks up the text for you.
So there is a reason they don't accept this stupid netiquette coming from old ages where intelligent client were not existing.
The reason is they're ignorant and/or rude. The first problem can be fixed if they are an intelligent person. If they are not educatable, or they are just rude, the problem can still be fixed by adding a rule to your mail client to drop every single email into your "Deleted Items" or "Trash" folder.
But it doesn't collapse quotes in emails? What kind of junk client are you using? Go with the times gramp, lose your ancient junk.
The rule is: You write the email so have all information easily accessible if you read it stand alone. netiquette is the best way to do that. (Only in a few rare cases it makes sense to attach another email for reference below.) Then it's up to your client to show your email in a decent way. Gmail is a big winner here, but better methods are possible.
