Which would require the _recipient_ to choose Thunderbird, newer ones, as their mail program. Hey, it is a free world, I like Firefox, for example, and you would have to rip it out of my dead, cold hands. I just do not care for Thunderbird, I started using pine a long time ago, too long to change now, but that is just my choice, I guess. It's just for that really important workflow -- sending patches as easily commentable text that still works as input to GNU patch or git-apply -- that I will recommend against using Thunderbird, as there are other mailers which can do it without much clickety-click. BTW in contrast to other people, I do not feel insulted that you chose Hg for Mozilla; as I said, it is a free world (as long as we can keep it that way, at least). Ciao, Dscho
