Mozilla Opens Thunderbird Email Subsidiary

Posted by kdawson on from the need-a-cute-mascot dept.

alphadogg is one of several readers to note the opening of the Mozilla Foundation's new subsidiary, Mozilla Messaging, charged with developing the free, open source Thunderbird email software. Mozilla Messaging will initially focus on Thunderbird 3, which aims at improving several aspects of the software, including integrated calendaring and better search.

    Let's just hope it takes a more sober, considered and ethical approach to life than its wayward cousin... the whole Mozilla project seems to be a little too 'Yurpeen' for my tastes.

    That's a nice thought, but if I had a dime for every time someone said a particular piece of technology would be the death of Microsoft, I could buy Microsoft and kill it myself.

    What's a "death knoll"? Are MS going to be wiped out by some evil killer hillock? Or will it they be put out to graze on a grassy knoll?

    It's a death gnoll, a really nasty breed of hyena-man.
