Finally Mozilla Foundation has decided what to do with Thunderbird, and the decision sounds like music in my ears! Read what the leader of the foundation, chair Mitchell Baker, wrote on her blog and Mozilla’s official press release.

I especially liked the sentence: “Create a better user experience for a range of Internet communications — how does / should email work with IM, RSS, VoIP, SMS, site-specific email, etc?“  I hope that Sameplace gets integrated in to the e-mail client. It is simply a brilliant implementation of XMPP for Thunderbird!

But best of all was probably that neither the blog entry or the press release contained any information about Eudora/Penelope.
