For what it's worth, a very, very long time ago, on a day when I was feeling particularly frustrated with both my e-mail client and my IM client, I imagined I would start an open-source project that did both, for exactly this reason. I intended for it to also support NNTP and RSS feeds (which were brand-stinkin'-new at the time, IIRC), all with as consistent an interface as possible. Then I remembered that I'm very lazy, and decided to go to the beach instead. =8^) I still kind of like the idea though, and it actually makes me tempted to try Thunderbird again (though other things tempt me not to). -- Derek D.
