Congratulations to Scott, David, and all of you who helped to make Thunderbird 1.0 such an amazing success.
In the first month after it's release, Thunderbird 1.0 has been downloaded 2 million times! That's two million people that won't be getting the next round of Outlook viruses. That's 2 million people who will be able to push the spam aside with Thunderbird's innovative junk-mail filters and get back to using e-mail again rather than being abused by it. That's two million people who will have access to the new and exciting world of RSS. Simply put, that's 2 million people who will enjoy using e-mail again :-)
Thunderbird, like Firefox, is built upon the well-tested and extremely stable Mozilla platform. All of the people that worked hard building the Mozilla technologies that underly this great new e-mail application deserve a huge thanks and congratulations, too.
We're just getting going, folks. 2005 is going to be a great year.
