   You tell me! Did you try it? Or are you waiting for someone else to do it for

   You haven't proven anything, except that you're hard headed and not willing to   
   learn. Your way or the highway, right?

   If it does that for you, and nobody else.. do you still blame the code?   
      
    RC> Testing is something I do a lot of....testing in re compiling, nope.   
      
   Exactly my point.

   apt-get/aptitude is not the end-all-be-all in the Linux world. Sorry to burst   
   your bubble.

   We'll see.   
      
    RC> DEB Repo with these in it.. to install! No compiling!   
      
   Not everyone uses Debian or any *buntu flavor. So while it may help some, it   
   definitely won't help all.

   As long as multilib is enabled, 32 bit compiles have always worked fine on 64   
   bit systems.

   That has to do with thunderbird changing something on their end in the latest   
   versions. This would be something someone would probably have to fix and   
   compile themselves. If you're up to the task, by all means go for it.

   Good luck.
