Not to jump on the bandwagon or anything, but it looks like Thunderbird 1.5 is out now, and with some nice-looking new features. The automatic draft saving looks good, since I’ve gotten way too used to that (and maybe a little spoiled) by having it on Gmail. That alone makes it a must-download for me.
The one thing that I want to see (that Gmail has as well but Thunderbird didn’t) is an “always show images in messages from this sender” option. There are some people or organizations that e-mail me often, and I always want to see the images in those messages. In Gmail I can do that, but in the last version of Thunderbird I couldn’t.
I don’t see that on the list of changes anywhere, but it might not be big enough to make it. If it’s not there at all, I might have to finally get around to submitting a feature request.
Or maybe I just write about it here and hope that people will find it through the magic of the Interweb. Come on Interweb, do your thing!
Hmm.
Maybe that’s being a little too lazy.
Anyway, go get Thunderbird. This is a good time to switch from Outlook, especially if you like having a little security from viruses and other bad things while reading your e-mail.
