Comment on About the future of Thunderbirdparent

Comments

It should have happened with Thunderbird some time ago. Thunderbird is one of those programs where my heart would sink as soon as I learned there was a new update queued up. They always break something.

Oh come on, you love the multi-tab whatever that was forced on everybody. Thunderbird has definitely had some Gnome3-caliber failures.

The problem with their tabs is that they put different things on the same sized window. I like my overall Tbird to be almost full screened. But I like messages relatively narrow, because I (and people) generally read less efficiently if the lines are really long; it's harder to track back to the beginning of the next line accurately.

I like tabs in urxvt, vim, Firefox, etc. But they don't work well for me in Tbird.
