Mozilla creating a foundation to improve email

Al sez, "The Mozilla Foundation, which is the parent entity to the Mozilla Corporation, the maker of Firefox, is forming a new corporation to 'improve e-mail and internet communication', according to Mitchell Baker."

The goals for the new company are:

* Take care of Thunderbird users
* Move Thunderbird forward to provide better, deeper email solutions
* Create a better user experience for a range of Internet communications — how does / should email work with IM, RSS, VoIP, SMS, site-specific email, etc?
* Spark the types of community involvement and innovation that we've seen around web "browsing" and Firefox.
