Hi Philipp,

This entire post is completely OT for this thread, but it seems 
necessary anyway.

Do you mean that you think that development of Thunderbird stopped long 
ago? This is simply not true. Mozilla decided to move development to the 
community and only have employees involved in security related issues 
[1]. The community is rather active and at the end of last year there 
was a contributor summit with 22 attendees to plan further development 
for this year. Latest version 38.2 is from August 14, 2015.

Where can I download KNode? I can't find any download page (the results 
in Google are all dead).

Our "official forums" are just an interface on top of the newsgroups. 
Attachments are stripped from most of the mailing lists/newsgroups 
(except a few lists which allow them). FUDforum doesn't use attachments 
but inline binary blocks instead.

There are already a few issues filed about this problem. Unfortunately 
there is little activity in that area [2][3].
