Indeed,
Daniel, this is what I was writing about ! You wrote about options, but
the option for OOo users is to have mail/PIM program in their suite,

already know alternatives but still I and the others are not looking
for an opensource alternative ! they want to have OpenOffice.org Mailer
or whatever it could be named ... as a part of their OOo suite !
I know exactly what you're asking for. Many others have asked for it.
All have a basic lack of understanding on how open-source works. If
there is a perfectly good alternative ( ie Thunderbird, Evolution ),
then why should developers code another client ... just so you can click
an OpenOffice icon instead of a different icon? Why not change
Evolution's icon to look like an OpenOffice icon? The mind boggles why
people insist on having EVERYTHING encapsulated inside 1 application.
It's a mental constraint you have to get over before you can make the
best use of open-source software that's available.
FLOSS is very entice with Unix, and the unix methodology has been a lot of
differents apps doing one thing very good. As other non-unix software got
FLOSSED :) this generic term has watered down. Windows users are used to
seen the other side of packed as many features into and tie apps together.
I wonder how many of this users really post on the thunderbird mailing
list (news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird) where you can
also see a wave of users confusing e-mail client with PIM apps. Really you
should be comparing Outlook EXPRESS which is a fully e-mail client.
