OK, for all the pedantic, anal retentive people who would rather obscure
the issue and ridicule those who are trying to improve the system:
Let's use the definition of the "mail6" keyword and expand it to include
all Mozilla components (not just mail). The name of the morphed keyword
doesn't have to be what I suggested, it could be something else. The
description could include cautionary notes: e.g., "seems easy to fix,
but could not be after a closer look. If so, please then remove the KW."
or whatever we need to get this moving.
PS. Ian, maybe you could make a suggestion that I could ridicule without
seriously considering its merits :(
PPS. Ian, I am sooo glad you found a situation where this keyword might
not apply. "The exception confirms the rule."
