Thunderbird 1.5b1

Shortly after Firefox 1.5b1, the new beta of Mozilla Thunderbird is also out.

I don’t use an email client at home (I use GMail), but I’ve just updated Thunderbird from 1.0.6 to 1.5b1 at work (Linux). So far, so good. No crashes (these betas have been at least as stable as the latest stable versions, which is impressive). New preferences look, just like Firefox. Spell checking as you type (may be of interest to many people, but I turned it off in less than a minute ).

Not a lot of “wow” stuff here, but then again, it’s a mail client.
