Anyway, yes, I use seamonkey and encourage others to do so as well. I want one app that works for the most common web surfing uses. Choice is good here.
Attachments still conquer my screen (Score:3, Insightful)
Mailing list digests have the separate messages included as attachments, and on my 1024x768 screen resolution the attachment list, which Thunderbird finds obligatory to show, takes up a huge area.
Dammit, how difficult can it be to put a little clickable arrow there so that I could minimize the attachment list??? Or have I missed an option somewhere?

In the suite, this listbox has has rows="3" set in attributes.
I see no reason the same could not be done in Thunderbird.
It is completely possible to set a max height on the list box, what is moderately annoying is that similar to the
element in HTML, since the list is intended to be scrollable, this doesn't trigger scrollbars until the rowcount is hit.
To fix this in Thunderbird would probably require editing the XUL file. Just like in web development, not *everything* can be done in CSS. In this case, requires ability to tweak a little "HTML" too.

Someone had some fun playing with XUL and changed the interface, but the core message filtering is still an All or Any situation.

Yes, it is, because it means that they all can use different versions of the runtime engine.
For the life of me, I can't figure out:
Well, keep thinking about it, maybe eventually you will figure it out. It makes sense to me: Firefox, Thunderbird, and OOo get the job done with a memory footprint, speed, and release dates that I can live with. That's what counts.
