"Thunderbird 1.5 introduces several new features including a software
update system, spell check as you type, built in phishing detector, auto
save as draft, and support for deleting attachments from email messages.
Message filtering has also been improved with new filter actions for
replying and forwarding. Saved search folders can now search folders
across multiple accounts."

"More details can be found in the Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 Release Notes,
and the support forum staff is available for questions. "

"I wanted to thank everyone in the mozillaZine community who helped test
the alphas, the betas, and the release candidates that went into this
release. Thank you for trusting Thunderbird with your email throughout
the development and release cycle for 1.5. I'm looking forward to
working with all of you on 2.0 and beyond!"

Thanks,
I have found Thunderbird to be a vast improvement over OE.
I still use Outlook for my email, but Thunderbird is a great FREE
Newsgroup reader. I find it RSS News Reader to be lacking over some of
the others News Readers.

PS - The best part of Thunderbird vs OE is I don't have to listen to
everyone complain about me top posting.

I'm curious about something. If you are working on a document in your word
processor, and then shut down the computer and come back to the doc
tomorrow, do you add your new work at the top of the document?

I never understood those who say they cannot bottom post because the cursor
is at the top of the page when they start a reply.

Tell, me. When you are involved in a conversation with twenty people
at a party, do you repeat the entire previous conversation before
adding your new thoughts? Does the next person to speak then repeat
the whole previous conversation, including what you just said, before
adding their new thoughts?

Whether you post at the top or the bottom, you generally leave some or all
of the preceding text, which is analogous to other people in a conversation
having already heard what was said before. The reason to post at the bottom
is that most people read from the top of a page to the bottom, unless
they're on their 18th cocktail. There's simply no good reason for top
posting.

Must be incredibly hard to move that cursor!

There is simply no good reason to care either way. The real problem is
those who don't trim appropriately. In conversation, it is normal to
work in a brief clue as to what you are replying too.

ie: As John said, you can't just paint a rusty car to make it run
better. In my experience that rarely does much at all to improve
performance.

You don't need to repeat everything that has been said in the last
hour to give your comments context and relevance. A properly trimmed
reply is equally easy to handle wheter it is top posted or bottom
posted. If someone has to scroll through 600 lines to get to your
added text, you are not doing it correctly. If you feel you just HAVE
to repost the whole thread in your reply for it to make sense, you
really should top post.

You get extra points for using white space, by the way.
