I was under the impression that although Iceweasel started off as a simple rebranding project that the maintainers had greater ambitions and that they already made changes to the source that have nothing to do with the branding - am I wrong? Iceweasel (and FireFox) prior to version 3 despite a few bugs were the most convenient GUI gopher browser available and the loss of gopher support would be a big blow for gopher users. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
