To make this happen, being able to write extensions for actual messaging protocols etc would be the bomb.

I don't know if that's up the road, I bet you could take on google docs pretty well as an alternative to oo.org @Alastair: please send me mail about the bugs you're talking about, I'm not aware of them @Alex: I'll be visiting a lot since Moz is headquartered out of there, but I'll be living up north in Vancouver near the rest of t-bird the team. @Will: Thanks buddy! Let me know what kind of issues you have with it, I love feedback from people who get a lot of email. I found a used copy of the book just yesterday, hopefully I'll get through it quickly and we could chat about it. @Todd: thanks dude!

I've been using Thunderbird for 5 or 6 years now. I very much look forward to all the new attention the application is going to get over the next few years. Yay! Also, I have a copy of GTD. If you want it, you're more than welcome to take it. I think I bought it on Amazon for $8.00 or something like that. That’s awesome about the new job!

After you guys conquer email, can you take on openoffice? Maybe a mozilla version of openoffice with the clarkbw user-friendliness?

All that's left is to say good luck to you. I too would like to see Thunderbird becoming the default mail client on Fedora... Evolution is a strange world for me. Thanks for getting back to us all.

I have seen some existing plugin for tabbing, but have not checked it out yet @nicu: TB needs to compete and win. I'm excited about making it competitive, until it is I could see pushing a change just yet. @ralph: I'd like to try a couple different ways of working an encryption interface. I agree that Enigmail is ok, but I'd like to see some innovation on top or around that. That's why it's so critical that we get a decent extensions system working soon. @jon: will do, i’m sure that’s on the horizon for platform fixes

Oh, and its RSS support sucks-- I could be *tempted* to use Thunderbird for both NNTP + RSS if it was as good as Liferea/NetNewsWire/Vienna etc...

That is what I want from TB: to be worthy as a default mail client for Fedora and, in my view, it needs more desktop integration for that (at least at the Firefox 3 level).
