Re: [orca-list] Mail client

In the sense that anything that is not growing is diing, then I guess you have a point. 
Right when mozila had a chance to push t-bird to a new level, i.e. they'd added chat support, they abandoned 
the project basically. 
That feature could have been optimized and improved, but it has not been enhanced since first included as far 
as I know. On the other hand, it kept working 
when most everything else stopped supporting facebook chat for a while and or with out a new plugin.
I know of people who never liked t-bird, but have only heard a few cases of it not working as well as it used 
to. 
It hardly matters. 
There should be alternative for folks, and while not true gui aps, bothmutt and alpine are fine programs with 
rather different interfaces that can be run 
in terminal windows with good results. Both have been around forever pretty much with in our context, and are 
not going to die out any time soon.
Also, some people like the mail programs developed to work with emasc or VI, very accessible and good for 
folks who like those editors, or at least one of 
them/...lol.
I think most of the folks who use evolution are happy with it as well, but I've never had athe need or time 
to try it.
