News Mozilla Updates Thunderbird E-Mail Client

Mozilla upgrades it's gear in an attempt to stop the spam-valanche. This from eWeek:

The Mozilla Foundation on Monday updated its standalone e-mail application, bringing it a step closer to a full release.

The open-source software developer announced the availability of its Thunderbird Version 0.6, a release that remains a technology preview but adds a host of enhancements for easing installation, stopping spam and improving security.

The release of Thunderbird 0.6, available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, follows Mozilla's renaming and updating in February of its standalone Web browser, now called Firefox. Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox are part of the Mountain View, Calif., foundation's plans to focus more development attention on discrete applications, rather than its namesake browser application suite.
