Hi,

I was wondering the reason for the change in version 154 about changing the minimize to tray behaiviour when pressing the minimize button to minimizing when pressing the close button. Is there a standard? Why not make it a 2 way option, for users that prefer the older function?

Thanks.

I believe you're using the Daily version. There is a Daily forum where such questions are welcome: https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/daily This is a support forum to aid in using Thunderbird, not a forum to discuss feature strategy. Thank you for your interest.

The change to daily (which will make it into release) is made because hijacking the windows controls causes very much non-standard behavior. I'm quite certain that no preference will be offered to give the old behavior.
