> My experience with the "bug" is, that it is just a nuisance for the people, that read logs, like myselves from time to time. From what I can tell, the data fully conforms to the specification, only broken clients (mentioned android apps) will fail on it. Eg. neither davical nor DAVx⁵ have any problems.

Considering that most people also have an Android or Apple phone, then it should be of concern to Mozilla that such a basic function breaks other clients (regardless of "broken" they might be in Mozilla's opinion).

You can only afford that level of contempt for you users if you are not dependant on your product being loved and a success. Wait, who is paying Mozilla loads *JUST* that they exist so declaring a monopoly is more difficult .... hmmm.

How do you break thousands of plug-ins? One of the things the product was once highly praised for? Ask Mozilla . . .

As I said before, look what they did to Firefox on mobile, and how Thunderbird has been pushed to the side, to the point that there was even discussion about giving up on it and moving it to a different project/company outside of Mozilla.
As I said previously, I started using this when Netscape gave it Mozilla having previously used Netscape. It takes quite a bit to get someone that has been using the product for over 20 years to "enough is enough". Yes I'm salty, no wonder.

I'm trying out evolution (Cinnamon/Gnome) and Kmail (KDE) now, and it looks like I'll be going in the direction of Evolution.
