   You should definitely wait till the urge passes. :-)

   You’ve got an established focus, and it’s fine.

   But occasionally updating readers on any items of interest on Thunderbird - and other mail clients for OS X - even if there is not some direct relation in the story to Mail.app is a good idea.

   Maybe you could tell us about the new Cocoa version of Eudora - if it ever sees the light of day.

   And I guess the anticipated open source IMAP mailer called Kiwi might deserve an item in time - interesting that it will make use of Core Data:

   It will also be intriguing to know what Jonathan “Wolf” Rentzsch comes up with (although he is writing a program for himself not one for distribution to typical end users).

   In fine, I’d say, no, don’t let Thunderbird crash the party, but the occasional item on it and othr happenings in the email space on OS X would be of interest.

   Thanks for the feedback and for the suggestions.

   And for the advice. I am feeling over it today. I think it was a passing phase :-)

   Hey - a lot of Switchers coming over to Mac, used to Thunderbird as they didn’t trust MS solutions, prefer to use an app they know rather than one they don’t know. That’s me.

   Please keep the Thunderbird tips flowing too!
