Well, Multizilla was a great project when starting for the first Mozilla 
Suite builds and I guess the main reason, why people continued using 
Seamonkey, even after Firefox and Thunderbird became its successor.

Personally I do not like the Firefox GUI very much and I started to use 
Google Chrome more frequently, as more and more sites are not compatible 
with Seamonkey 1.1.x. The built-in Tab-managerin SM 2.x is not that 
useful anyway without Multizilla, unfortunately. So for me SM will still 
be a mail client but not a useful browser in the future.

Dear Michael and HJ, thanks for your wor in this project and good luck 
for future projects, be it private or at work.

Have a nice summer and enjoy life, I am with you and understand what it 
means, when things are changing.

Cheers, Thomas
