Wait, what? Ya really need to give a cite for these things for people,
like me, who are caught off guard. Now lemme mosey on over to the ol'
Wikipedia... Ah-ha, there's the link...

Eh, for my part I see no problem. It was Open Source before, it's Open
Source now. Nothing's really changed. Larger projects have survived without
the umbrella of a corporation. If nothing else maybe it'll do some good and
get the project to address some long standing warts of Thunderbird... like
reply-to-list. *sigh*
As for Evolution the last time I tried it (and KMail, and Sylpheed-Claws)
I was unable to make even a basic IMAPS connection. No IMAPS, no client.
