Here's what I think Mozilla 1.0 should mean for mailnews.

1)  I want mailnews to be apart of Mozilla 1.0, just as it is a part of 
other Mozilla milestone releases.
2)  I want the mailnews that is part of Mozilla 1.0 to be better 
(performance, stability, etc) than it was on the last Mozilla milestone 
release, and better than it will be on the milestones between now and 
Mozilla 1.0.

That's it.

Reading brendan's list of what makes a bug a Mozilla 1.0 bug, the one 
rule that applies to the mailnews application is:

"Is fixing this bug vital to web content developers, Mozilla 
distributors, Gecko embedders, or others who will depend on 1.0 for 
stable code and a minimal set of frozen APIs?"

Web content developers and gecko embedders aren't depending on mailnews 
the way they depend on DOM or XPCOM.

All that matters is this:  "is the bug vital to Mozilla distributors?".

I'm working on the bugs that I feel are vital to those who distribute 
mozilla mailnews.
