TB: SABDFL interested in default mail client in Ubuntu?

[Alan Lord (Gmail)]

Hi all,

I thought your should be aware of this.

There's a very cool extension that integrates TB with libnotify and the 
Indicator Applet on the Gnome desktop of Ubuntu.

Mark Shuttleworth (the sponsor, backer and SABFDL) has just indicated 
his interest in getting TB to be the default mail client on Ubuntu.

This is, IMHO, quite a big deal.

I have it on good authority that the comment was genuine and from Mark.
