Older = those you read in Pine, or those you read in Mozilla before?

Dunno - worksforme. Maybe Pine does something odd, like resetting "seen"
flags?

Depends on you and the task at hand. Mozilla uses XPCOM, which is like
COM, for low-level stuff, incl. strings. UI is made in XUL and JS, which
aren't too hard to grok (I "code by example" :) ), as long as you don't
get too advanced. Everything else is C++ with a C touch (not very
object-orientated).
