Waarom een beta van de gewone sylpheed ?
Daarvoor is er toch de bleeding edge versie (sylpheed claws) ?
http://www.claws-mail.org/

<edit> ownee, niet meer.. Claws Mail (formerly Sylpheed-Claws) started as the bleeding-edge version of Sylpheed, in order to act as a testbed for new features for Sylpheed. The idea was to regularly resync with Hiroyuki's main branch, and vice-versa. Claws Mail then evolved into the stable extended version of Sylpheed, and is now an entity in its own right, mainly due to different goals and the fact that syncing both codebases doesn't happen anymore. </edit>

Zodra Claws of Sylpheed als default HTML mails kan renderen en composen ga ik over vanaf Thunderbird!

Er is wel een HTML plugin, maar je kunt niet instellen dat dat de standaard renderer is en het schrijven van HTML mails is geloof ik ook nog niet mogelijk...

Sylpheed en/of Claws is wel vele malen lichter en sneller dan het -ondergeschoven- broertje/zusje van Firefox genaamd Thunderbird...
