I would vote for having Thunderbird go to Writer whenever you hit the

available. A send button would be in the Writer toolbar durring this
function, and anything that couldn't be handled in an email would be
greyed out. As soon as you hit send, you would be back in Thunderbird.
Except for having the send button on the toolbar I don't see that any
other changes in the GUI are really required.
I don't like this idea. We have people here that are now using Word to
compose messages and they come in as *.doc file attachments. What a pain.
I strip all html from messages in TB so the html encoding is not an issue.
I compose and only send as text messages so I don't see any need for
using Writer to compose messages. Text is text. I can customize TB for
the formatting that I want.
I prefer my spell checking to be done when I press send instead of when
I am composing. This makes my life much more productive. :)
But I do agree that if OpenOffice, Thunderbird, Lightning and other
applications can come together through a common API, it could be the
killer group of applications that could attack Microsoft where it really
hurts.
Maybe it is time to look at an integration group to work on this.
Unless there is one already.
Get Openchange's libmapi to work with these applications and there is no
need to have Office/Outlook on the desktop.
