Well, since there´s already thunderbird, and it´s really really good, and it´s alredy well integrated into major distros(Ubuntu, etc...), don´t really feel that integrating it into LO would be so great, since it´s already integrated into desktop enviroment.
Of course one could say that TJ is already out there, so why integrate/use it? Well, most managers I know use M$ PJ, so theres a high demand amongst these people. Being expensive as it is the M$ product. Ignoring Mr. Glenn rude comments, he should take a look at some marketing material and ask himself: 1- Why do people prefer to buy an apple notebook? Even OpenSource developers? 2- Why GNU/Linux distros just can´t make to OEM market? Even Ubuntu? Remenber that there are geeks/hackers/programers/developers, and theres the regular Joe. Following Mr. Eric Raymond´s work, Cathedral and Baazar, we should now include regular people. Most don´t even know what LO is, or Linux, or GNU, that´s why integrators are needed, such as Ubuntu, Fedora... Ok, that was really off-topic.
