cool =)
It is a good release. It seems quite solid. And a couple of the little annoyances from Beta 2 seem to be gone. I’ve updated Portable Thunderbird to the new 1.5 RC1 as well if you’d like to carry it with you… or try it out without messing with your normal profile.

Thanks, John for the portable Thunderbird! I will add that link to my orginal post.
You’re welcome, Devious. The more people we get playing with the 1.5 RC1, the better the final will be!
