Libre Office is a free OpenSource productivity suite encompassing equivalent packages to Word, Excel , Access, PowerPoint and a Diagram program similar to Visio. Effectively it is the OpenSource equivalent to Microsoft Office except unlike Office it does not have a default email client.

Most people install, like myself, Thunderbird but there's a whole list of alternative email clients that will run on Windows as well as Linux. The other day I saw a request for email client suggestions on Google Plus and as you would expect Thunderbird was the top of most peoples suggestions although there's always one or two who have to come up with some obscure suggestion probably to try and set themselves apart? Anyway, it got me thinking. LibreOffice is pretty De rigueur on Linux systems but its never had its own mail client. Surely it can't all be down to the size of LibreOffice? What do you think?
