Or, as she put it, 'continued innovation in Thunderbird is not a priority for Mozilla's product efforts.' Sigh. But if it fits your needs, for instance with Apple's email programs, SpamSieve could be worth checking out.Ĥ) Speaking of Thunderbird, the chair of the Mozilla Foundation, Mitchell Baker, has announced that Mozilla will no longer develop new features for Thunderbird.

(For instance, Michael Ham has written about it here.) I haven't used it, since it doesn't work with (a) the web version of Gmail, which has its own very powerful anti-spam routines, (b) the latest release of Thunderbird, which I use to create offline email archives and whenever I get too annoyed by new-look Gmail. For the record: I tried to get Tom Davis, the creator of Zoot, signed up for guest-blogger duty in the same stretch as Bernstein and Blount, but he was too busy cranking out a new release of his program.ģ) I have heard from a number of people about the virtues of an email anti-spam program called SpamSieve. Keith Blount, creator of Scrivener, also did a stint here as a guest blogger. (My two latest books, and several dozen most recent articles, were all produced via Scrivener.) A Windows version is now available, but I haven't tried it myself. But for me it has been wonderful - and you'll see that I'm not the only one. You won't hurt my feelings if you try it and don't like it. Instead Scrivener excels in helping you organize and plan what you're writing. Indeed, once you've finished the 'real' writing in Scrivener you export the results to Word, Google Docs, or some other program for the last-minute tidying up. Scrivener is not concerned with 'tactical' issues - formatting, fonts, spell check, and all of that. Since switching to it four years ago I've consistently viewed it as the very best program for writing, ever. The program is only $45, and it offers a 30-day free trial.

I note this as an intro to mentioning a useful step one-two-three demo on how to make Tinderbox and Scrivener essentially work as one unified program.

The usual-suspect lineup here includes the unbelievably wonderful writing program Scrivener the powerful data-storing and -searching program DevonThink Pro Tinderbox the Omni, CircusPonies, and Aqua Minds families cross-platform programs like The Brain and Mind Manager and some others. (I plugged the 'Festival' once before, here.)ġA) An interesting thing about the 'interesting-software' realm for the Mac, where I've done most of my work for 4+ years after fleeing the nightmare known as Windows Vista, is that the comparatively smaller number of high-end programs (relative to the Windows universe) means that people spend more time thinking about how the programs might work together. The creator of Tinderbox, Mark Bernstein, appeared in this space last year as a guest blogger.

But, as with Zoot, I have come to appreciate and rely on it more as I have spent more and more time with it - several years with Tinderbox, now nearly two decades with Zoot.

Tinderbox is very complex software with a learning curve even more formidable than that of my still- beloved Windows idea-organizer Zoot.
