You got it! And when I hear Linux users acting surprised that Mozilla Corp. has been reducing resources allocated to the Thunderbird MUA project, I always marvel at the surprise: It should be obvious even on five seconds' contemplation that Firefox brings in ad-industry revenue (which in turn is hugely depending on data-mining users) while Thunderbird brings in no revenue. I keep wondering, what about that is difficult to understand? _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
