    I'd add a few things to that list; it uses mbox (but not maildir since
    it doesn't work in Windows) and it defaults to bottom replying
    (although that can be changed by the user). It also doesn't propagate
    viruses as easily (if every Outlook user was using TB/Moz instead, we
    wouldn't have nearly the same problem with viruses clogging up mail
    servers and inboxes). The included Bayesian spam filter is probably the
    easiest to use for average users of any mail client in existence (that
    was what kept me with Mozilla/TB until I figured out how to invoke
    bogofilter from kmail; spam filtering with kmail is still too difficult
    for the average user). I wouldn't call TB a real mail client yet but
    it's also not akin to Outlook. I'd say it's about 3/4 of the way
    towards being a real mail client and if it were to get (1) list-reply
    and (2) more versatile filters (ability to pipe through or execute
    external commands and to rewrite headers for example) then it would
    pretty well be a real mail client.
