I converted, and I'm not going back.
There are a couple of things I don't like. I miss the ability to select
a chunk of text, reply, and have the reply consist only of that chunk,
but there is a workaround that only takes two more keystrokes, and it's
been reported as a bug, so it will probably get added. T'bird stores
one file per folder, instead of one file per message. I don't like
that, but in practice it hasn't been a problem.
The HTML handling is infinitely better, of course. That's why I did
it. T'bird is quite configurable, much more so than PMMail. You can
use the PMMail 3-pane view, or if you don't like that, there are a
number of other options.
There's an active (and vocal) community developing T'bird. That's the
strongest intangible benefit.
