The last time I installed Thunderbird, it was a simple untar-gunzip job. Just
put it where it should reside and your profile directory is 'inhereited'
from the previous version. JRE is great.

I used to think the same way, but later installed the necessary extension for
Thunderbird 1.0.x. I never looked back since. I miss it every time I use
Horde because CTRL+A, CTRL+C, Editor, CTRL+V, spellcheck, go word-by-word,
then pull back is a nuisance, even just for detecting typos. KMail and KNode
are frustrating at times for that reason. I notice that Konqueror in SuSE
9.3 has that functionality built-in, which is a pleasure if you do Web
forms.
