I personally am quite happy with Thunderbird but that wasn't the point I was trying to make. My point was that whichever mail system gets chosen I'd prefer it if the "integration" (or whatever word you'd prefer) were implemented and distributed by an "official" OOo/<mail-client-organisation> team so that it gets supported along with OOo etc. rather than relying on a third party (another link, another place to break). -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
