It's 6.0.79, via debian package flashplugin-nonfree. I've had no stability 
problems; just performance problems. I don't know if it's a problem with 
Linux Flash and certain flash files, or just a combination of overzealous

I used Thunderbird for a few days when my I fnarkled my KDE upgrade. It was 
quite impressive for an 0.1 release!
I'm back to using kmail now. (Can't get by without my multiple identities!
