Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird
Please make the GNOME menu entry for Thunderbird consistent with those for Firefox and Evolution: Name: "Thunderbird Mail" Description: "Read and write emails" The reasons are: - Firefox does not use "Mozilla" in its name, so Thunderbird shouldn't either. - Thunderbird is pitched by Mozilla as an "e-mail client", not as an "e-mail client and newsreader". (See http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ for proof) Sure, Thunderbird can read news, but so can Evolution, and Evolution's name is just "Evolution Mail". - Evolution's description is simple: "Read and write emails". This is exactly what Thunderbird does, so I think its description should match this. Other items on the GNOME menu have simple descriptions such as this, which don't repeat the name of the application. - If you look at the foreign language translations for the existing menu entry...they actually already translate back to the exact strings that I am asking you to use above! I've attached a patch that makes these changes. ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Make GNOME menu entry for Thunderbird consistent with Firefox, Evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
