Strangely, your mail didn't wrap properly when it got to me on gmail, but it looks like you're using Thunderbird CVS? Anyway, thanks for the data point. I'll keep this in mind. This seems like an extremely cool feature. I can't wait for it to trickle down to release state. From reading a few of the docs on the Mozilla site, it seems that in addition to improved speed, the new graphics backend using cairo will render much nicer windows and fonts when completed. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
