Mozilla Thunderbird Gets Firefox-style Tabs

daria42 writes "A developer has added tabbed browsing of e-mail messages to Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail client, mimicking one of the most popular features of the Firefox and Opera Web browsers." From the article: "It is unlikely the feature will be found in Mozilla's imminent release of Thunderbird 1.5 -- currently in testing -- but software developer Myk Melez has put test versions of Thunderbird online with the tabbed browsing feature included. However, there are doubts over the suitability of these downloads for production use as they are based on bleeding-edge 'unofficial' code. "

Interesting

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! Not Lotus Notes.

I have used many email clients including the Microsofties out there and Lotus is the only one to give me night mares. Terrible Night Mares.

Nice work.

I'd use Lotus if it gave me nocturnal horses, they'd fetch a pretty penny ;)

Let me just refer to the checklist here...

X - Bashing Firefox and praising IE
X - Tabbed browsing is unnecessary
X - Firefox sucks because of some other application
X - I can sue Microsoft if something goes wrong
X - Closed source better than open source

I currently have about 25 tabs open. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that many windows.
That's a lot of pr0n. Care to share?
