Hey list,

I'm thinking about switching from the Mozilla/Seamonkey suite to
Thunderbird for my email client.  And in the Portage tree it's got both
mozilla-thunderbird & mozilla-thunderbird-bin, similar to Firefox.  Now
with Firefox there's all the 32-bit plugin issues, so most of us (of
course not Duncan ;-) probably have & use both firefox & firefox-bin,
but with Thunderbird, are there really any reasons we'd need a 32-bit
version installed?  Also, does anyone know if they could both be
installed & play well w/ each other, the way firefox does?  I'd guess
they would, but if not I'd rather know before-hand.

Thanks,
Conway S. Smith

I guess the only reason for mozilla-firefox-in is the one it was
originally started: it can take ages to compile these packages on a
low-end machine.

thunderbird and thunderbird-bin aren't blocking each other, so I'd
guess they won't get into each others way. rhunderbird-bin gets
installed to /opt, I don't see a problem in having them both installed.

Make that thunderbird-bin, looks like I'm being a little stupid
right about now...
