I wouldn't say that was a fair comment. Mozilla has a separate Mail and
News team that work on the mail and news application and rarely if ever
on browser functionality.
There are probably more people working on the browser than mail/news but
quite a lot of browser functionality is still needed for mail/news and
other mozilla based apps so this makes sense.
There's no doubt a lot of committed mail/news coders about. Mozilla's
biggest commercial contributor, Netscape, has employees dedicated to
mail/news as they want their version of Mozilla to be a replacement for
Communicator and there are other mail/news contributors too, both
commercial and independent.
