I give up. I'll continue to test Mozilla (just downloaded and installed
0.6). (didn't see much improvement. No fix for the hiding of read
messages), reporting bugs.
I see by your comments that as I've said developers are only interested
in what devlopers say. And have no interest in what the average end user
finds wrong. How sad.
I see Mozilla determined to do away with as much input as possible. So
as with other subjects I once again seem to be one person trying push
one mountain over another up hill. :(
This will be the last in "this thread" from me.
