[Web4lib] Re: Webmail and the ocean of spam

[Drew, Bill]

You get what you pay for!  I enjoy using Firefox immensely and would use
Thunderbird except it only supports SMTP and not the full Exchange
features that Outlook can use.  Remember this is a project by volunteers
and people who love what they do.  Fixes come fast and furious usually
when there is a broken feature.  I expect there to be occasional
problems with open source software.  The spell-check is not actually
very surprising.  The spell checker for different blogging tools I use
at times have considered weblog  or blog to be misspellings.
