Ummm... is TBird supposed to be able to read your mind and know when you want a link and when you want to attach the file? You can do a local link, but imo, the normal user normally *wants* to attach the file... > Attachments received being handled by mime handlers.

We have had ZERO problems with attachment handling, except for the notorious winmail.dat problem, that I was finally able to solve nicely for our users (although it does require an extension and a user.prefs JS mod to allow them to open it by simply dbl-clicking the winmail.dat file) > Its email address completion is a bit off the wall trying to suggest > local domain finishes for everything typed in the to / cc fields. Eh? What are you talking about? TBird won't let you send a message until whatever you put in the 'To' or CC' fields is of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] what is so unusual about that? > There really is a market opportunity for a good independent solid MUA. I think TBird rocks... it ain't perfect, no... my biggest gripe is the lack of a proper signature manager, and a few other minor gripes (rewrapping quotes in replies, Quote only selected text, etc), but honestly, with the right extensions and JS hacks, it is really the best MUA I've ever used. Lightning gives it a very usable Calendar, and the SyncSW extension/Service allows you to Sync Calendar and Addresses (even multiple Address Books) with as many different clients as you want (including your cell phone)... To each his own I guess... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Courier-imap mailing list Courier-imap@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-imap
