- Had some problems with mozmill & easy_install (wasn't including extension in the installation), this is now fixed by mozmill
- Currently trying to get embedded mozmill to start up Thunderbird with mozmill extension included.
- Beta 1 bugs:

- Misc
- bug 199809 Memory leak in notification handler in nsMsgSendLater
