Okay, I won't. But Thunderbird is less of a PITA than Flickr when it 
comes to images larger than your monitor. In Thunderbird you just click 
on the attachment link and open it with whatever program is associated 
with the image type. (I use the excellent XnView.) On Flickr you have to 
be aware of the download menu, then select the file you want to 
download, then save the file to disk and open it manually.
