The Mozilla Foundation has released an update for version 24 of Thunderbird. Mozilla Thunderbird is an open source email and newsgroup client, with features such as support for several mail and news accounts, a junk mail filter, spell checker, and a customizable look and feel. New in version 24 is, among other things, that the text can not only be enlarged when reading, but now also when composing e-mails. The update this time includes only security updates.
