Thunderbird is whole reason why to keep discussions on a mail-list. The web-based forums (or gmail) just don't compare with the versatility, accessibility, and speed of Thunderbird. I do agree both the web-based forums and mail-list should be used at their fullest. I think the more technical content discussions should be kept to the mail-list and policy based discussions can be moved to the web-forums. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
