Quite honestly, that's not he only program I wish I had a "shut up
and sit down" button.

Source is available.

It can't be that hard to fix, can it ? :-/

Hard for who?

I mean, everything is within walking distance, if you keep at it
long enough.

The problem are the programs without source code.

Thunderbird is open source, which means the source code is available.

While Open Source is a wonder thing, there still remains the small
detail that it is really only "open" to those who know the language
exceedingly well.

Or you may have the money to pay somebody to do it for you, or you may
sweet talk somebody :-)

Given the resources, even "proprietary software" can be made open
source. Just decompile the executable, and "viola! you're in like a
porch climber."


Cello! What's a porch climber?

Bass! I think it's a burglar who prefers to enter through a second story
window or door, (first story in Europe). One way to get up there might
be to climb a trellis attached to the porch. As a result, he'd be
referred to as a porch climber.

I just made that up. Let's see if I'm close. :-)
