Sorry if this is OT (I'm still trying to figure out what is
on-topic):
Why retain the mail and news components of Mozilla? To the degree
that the Internet is increasingly a part of our daily lives, the
triad of browser, mail, and newsreader are insufficient to interact
with the resources on the 'net. Word processors, information
manipulation programs (db's and spreadsheets), peer-to-peer programs
like Groove, which enable more than just chat, and other programs are
now enabled and necessary to exploit some of the benefits of the web.
As a result, the vision of one program doing it all is no longer
valid (except arguably the way that Lotus Notes integrates various
enterprise functions). Additionally, there are other email clients
and other newsreaders more powerful than Mozilla's. So that leaves
the idea of convenience, just give the public something less than
optimum so it's in one handy package. There's no doubt that that's
the direction that MS and NS are both going. But that does not seem
to be consistent with the quality and integrity of Mozilla. So,
what's the rationale?
