Hi all (and one) I installed the GA version along with the latest Thunderbird and found that I couldn't have both of them open at the same time, hence using them as a complimentary pair wouldn't work. I could with the PR version though.

I've gone back to Mozilla. It has virtually all the same features (at least all the ones I want), is smaller than the 2 separate apps, it's already integrated and it works. Perhaps I'll change later when the 2 separate ones are thoroughly sorted out.

But, as there has been two RCs and the GCA since the PR, I can't remember what it was. If the above has happened in the last few days, it might be trying to install the GCA. In this case, I wouldn't be surprised if it failed. -- David Forrester davidfor at internode.on dot net http://www.os2world dot com/djfos2/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
