An updated thunderbird package that fixes several bugs and adds
enhancements is now available.
Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
* when more than one "Compose" window was open, for example, after clicking
on the "Write" button multiple times, closing all of the "Compose" windows
caused Mozilla Thunderbird to crash.
* in certain situations, when selecting to send a document from within
OpenOffice.org, Thunderbird incorrectly placed the path to the attachment
(the temporary file) on the "To" line.
As well, this updated package adds the following enhancements:
* message tags have been added to help organize email.
* built-in support for Google Mail and Apple .Mac mail have been added.
* a find-as-you-type option, which highlights and filters email as users
type.
* the extension system has been updated to provide enhanced security, and
easier localization.
As well, this updated package upgrades thunderbird to version 2.0.0.14,
