I read the last thing that made front page, didn't know that Thunderbird is developed by a dozen people, or that it's basically an add-on for Firefox.

I get that they need to chase marketshare and audience and can't stop lest the big guys win forever.

Still, I quite liked the old interface, the nested menus where everything is where it should be and doesn't take four 'steps' and an eventual search to find, the grey-on-darker-grey colorscheme, the hard corners that scream out 'this isn't the ephemeral interwebs, these are rock-solid time-stamped spf-checked emails.

Thank you for an amazing software package, regardless of the Dr-Who-like metamorphosis it goes through.
