When reading http://www.blakeross.com/firebird/marketing.html I thought that 
this may be the good sale pitch. However, before doing that we should be sure, 
that Mozilla email client (whatever will be its name) is enough reliable. My 
wife is currently switching from Windows to Linux (and mutt) mostly because 
abysmal experience with Windows Netscape/Mozilla mail client over IMAP.

Well, the "death" of OE was just someone misspeaking, so this bug should either
be resolved invalid or changed to "advertise TB as alternative to OE", which
might be self-evident anyway.

[Robert Morris]

I added a question mark to the "now dead" part of the bug summary so that it at
least questions OE's death. :-) They _are_ updating it in Windows XP SP 2 and
will probably continue to do minor upgrades with new versions of Windows (it's
been "dead" in this sense for a loooong time), but, other than that, who knows.

Adding the question mark is my best effort at the moment; someone else can
resolve the bug if they think it should be, or change the summary as desired.

Agree with Robert, OE not dead and TB as replacement is self evident => INVALID
