Agreed. But but that doesn't invalidate the two points I was making:
1) Thunderbird works on more than one platform: Windows, Linux, and
OS/X
2) Thunderbird eases the transition from one platform to another,
specifically from Windows to Linux.
If you are using Fedora Core 3, installing Thunderbird is as easy as:
apt-get install MozillaThunderbird
or the yum equivalent.
