I didn't see this message until now, although this was posted before other message I've already replied to. This is because of a strange bug that was hiding two unread messages. I'm unsure how I could report this bug. The only way would be to send in the 4MB newsgroup file "netscape.public.mozilla.general".
I solved the problem by removing these files and download the headers from the server again.

Mail/news client is probably the most bugfixed program lately, it didn't work at all when I first downloaded Mozilla. > My point is that *everybody* wants Mozilla to be the best browser on the > market. Simply screaming about how much Mozilla sucks won't help. I'm > not saying that you are like that, but JTK certanly is. I have never even been close to saying that Mozilla sucks. I will probably never have to say it either, since the program gets better and better almost every build. I'm sorry if I sound negative from time to time, but the truth is I'm all excited about this. I have always been a critic, I critizise my own work as much as anyone else's. I like Mozilla more and more. I even use it as my default mail client now, despite the lack of the forwarding filter option that I could really need. > I'd stay away > from him if I were you.

Unfortunately, my C programming knowledge is very poor, so I can't help with the coding. I do post every bug that I come across, unless I'm unsure how to do it (read the beginning of this email again!). / David
