And I’m the prove that Patch+Enigmail+Extension is enough to get it working.

I might try it on my own on a vanilla Thunderbird if I’m using one on another machine. I want to know about what I recommend. >>> -- Whereas the one >>> you're using does. >> Absolutely right.

We should be at version 1.2 or something like that now.

I never really bothered using M2 for mail since it has that strange filter thingie instead of folders. But in fact, I don’t really remember why. It just happened as it did. > Just > asking, but it does seem little redundant. So you're using two > applications when you could use just one. Yes, you are probably right. At least both of them have something in common: they don’t really integrate themselves into my GTK desktop. Opera obviously because of its Qt interface and Thunderbird because it only fakes GTK. > OK like I said, whatever > floats yer boat. ;) Aye. >>> Especially with >>> the frequency that most RSS feeds are updated. >> Yep, I check them every 3 hours.
