I've seen some conversation about an epub version, but my real concern
regarding Firefox (and long lines in general) is that i imagine quite a
few people are still using links or lynx at that point. One of them puts
spaces at the beginning of the new line. I actually forgot about
SeaMonkey as I don't use it, but it too is affected and should have the
same MimeType lines combined and added, and of course, the length is
probably even more important there regarding links/lynx. I'm not sure of
the additional mime-types for the irc client. Does SeaMonkey include
.desktop file(s) by default?

Yes, that works well for all. Sounds good.
