I personally find the combined package (that avoids the need for command files or using run! and the load delays incurred) a better option than running Firefox and Thunderbird as separate applications.

Ah, the ever-flexible power of OS/2. I am happy that there exists an option to not use Seamonkey, since I am a diehard PMMail user, and there is new life on the new VOICE-owned PMMail/2 scene. It's like having access to a couple of vehiclces - the little runabout plus the bigger vehicle for moving lots of people or towing a trailer .
