The thread in moz.dev..tbird has some interesting discussion, most 'emphatically' by Timo Pietila who has been most vocal about staying with tb2 and all of the serious things wrong with tb3. snurled GG link to 3 message thread http://snipr.com/uw8u7 starts here Newsgroups: mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird Subject: Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 release Message-ID: <jI6dnYLriarjLQPWnZ2dnUVZ_oidnZ2d(a)mozilla.org> Timo's more interesting anti-TB3 message is the 3rd in that thread Message-ID: <lfWdncG36fSy_gLWnZ2dnUVZ_hGdnZ2d(a)mozilla.org> or http://snipr.com/uw8x8 In any case, the first message in the thread mentions "beta is changed to 2.0.0.25pre" suggesting that Tb2 rolls on. It seems to me that the forking of Tb's development into 3 branches, 2.0.0.2x and 3.0.x and 3.1.x some of which is 'forced' by Mozilla Corp processes and some of which is restrained by Moz Messaging processes is not altogether good for the development process health. -- Mike Easter

Went to site and d/l fine. Update reported a problem and then went back to site itself to d/l "complete" update. That worked fine. Lou

I'm not familiar with very many of the issues which Timo has; but I /am/ a strong advocate of the format=flowed compatibility which Tb2 has and which Tb3 has lost in many ways, including Tb3.1. So, from that one perspective, Tb3 in any form is a serious regression. That is exactly Timo's argument, except that he doesn't care anything about f=f one way or the other. His ideas are based on a myriad of other problems with the Tb3/s. Re my issue: it turns out that Tb3 doesn't really have a plaintext mode/editor that works properly. If you want to get anything done right, you have to work in html mode, which was 'channeled' into Tb from the Moz Corp people, not the Moz Messaging. Any normal newsreader was built around a plaintext editor; not Tbird. So, back to my f=f. In order to get proper f=f, the way I would have to configure my Tb would be to work in html. Then for a newsgroup message, just before Send, I would flip into plaintext. That's pretty weird. -- Mike Easter |
