Re: [PLUG] Thunderbird questions

[Fred Stluka <fred@bristle.com>]

Alan,

Yeah, what Isaac said.

I've been using Thunderbird for 10 years and Netscape Messenger
(it's predecessor) for 10 years before that.  Great product!  I used
them on Windows for a while, then migrated Thunderbird easily to
Mac.

If you have any more questions, feel free to post here.  I'll be glad
to answer them unless someone else beats me to it.
