new thunder

Go get it! Scott posted at mozillaZine about the newest nightly build of Mozilla Thunderbird and the big news for this build is extension support. You can visit Thunderbird Help and Extension Room at mozdev.org to download extensions and then install them via the Extensions panel in the Options window. Scott's also put together an "Off-line" extension to provide users with the off-line capability found in Mozilla Messenger as well as to provide a template for Thunderbird extension developers.

I'm using Thunderbird as my full-time email client and have been for some time. I've had no problems with any of the builds in the last few weeks and find them as functional (and in many ways, more usable) than Mozilla Messenger so if you've been waiting for someone to say "just do it" then take this post as my endorsement of Thunderbird and get yourself a build Great work Scott!

Tried it, but it doesn't seem to run on RH7.

Are there plans to statically link in libstdc++, as is the case with Mozilla 1.4?

I've been using Thunderbird as my mail client since the first buildable release...I've never really had any un-fixable problems. It just keeps getting better and better.
