<snip>lots of stuff where people talk about their favourite email client</snip>

Isn't this *exactly* the reason why OOo should *not* have a bundled email client?

I use TB, someone else uses Pegasus, someone else might use Seamonkey, Spicemonkey, Zimbra, Evolution and this list continues...

I can't believe how many times this question comes up. It is based on users' assumption that Outlook/Outlook Express is part of Office. Technically it is just another standalone application that has some integration hooks to their office applications.

The real answer should be to continue to promote OOo and increase it's adoption and publicise the fact that is has a very nice and *open* API (Java?) to which *any* email client could interface if the developer and users so wished.

To the chap who suggested Pegasus: I have never even heard of it and do not want to use non-open source products, so why should your preference impact me? Send the Pegasus developer a link to the OOo developer site and ask him - nicely - to take a look at providing some integration hooks in his application. Do you know what it is you want it to do BTW?
