Thanks for the link. I like the fact that it does not decide what is 
best for me as Firefox seems to. I would rather select where I want a 
file downloaded to. I use both a browser and email client so why not 
include them together. I occasionally need to edit html documents, why 
not keep this feature integrated in one package? The spell checker is 
great in the email client and of course multi threading for different 
email accounts is a highly desired feature.
Seamonkey, Netscape and mozilla keep their user data in the same place, 
so switching between any of the apps works without needing a separate 
configuration step.
