Experiments
Thunderbird Conversations
chapter in the FLOSS manual (preview)
Bugfixes, most important is newer builds now work properly when there are multiple windows open at the same time. Working on backend patches with :bienvenu and :asuth to speed things up for messages that just arrived and haven't been downloaded yet. Should improve reactivity a lot if you received a message with attachments over IMAP and try to display it at once.
Compose in a tab
Released a snapshot version, see thread in mozilla-labs. Patch send by FredCK, should help with the blockquote issue, I still need to give it a try.

Support
(If you support Thunderbird or write documentation to help support Thunderbird, please subscribe to the tb-support-crew mailing list and briefly introduce yourself to the list)
- 603 new support topics (my guess: higher count is due to Firefox 4 "knock-on" effect) - Media:4-10April-Community_stats_for_Mozilla_Messaging.png
- Kitsune KB migration: [Project Plan] Dutch, French, Polish, Spanish locales are the first locales to get most of their translations done; thanks for being Thunderbird Kitsune pioneers! Let's try to finish those locales soon! Missing some big locales like Germany and Japan which means we may push back the launch back from April 19th
- 3.1 Support Issues
- At Mozilla All Hands, discussed the effect on TB Support if TB decides to get on the Firefox rapid release platform train (SUMO support plan for Firefox release plan; we'll need something similar if TB goes for rapid release)
