The mozilla team is doing a great job.  The new expression ( :-)) menu is great.  Other enhancements are coming along just fine; however, I have a few things to note.  Many things will probably be wrapped up in Mozilla 0.8, later this upcoming week.

When I try to send my ownself an email message containing an attachment or an item inserted,  I'm unable to send message.  There is no error message, just no modem activity.  Oh!  Just for the record, I'm using WinMe.  Should I try without the attachment or insertion, the message sends properly and is retrieved properly.  I thought perhaps my local ISP's mail server wasn't working correctly.  At that point, I tried the same procedure using Outlook Express.  The message was sent, with the inserted picture with no problems .  ISP mail server was working fine.  I attempted retrieving that same message using Mozilla and the retrieval process was successful.  The email message was downloaded with the inserted radar image.  Note:  Problem note with retrieving  messages with attachments or images - just sending them.

I noticed at times, that the progress bar doesn't always reflect the actual activity that is going on at any present time.  It seems to work sometimes and then in other instances it doesn't. 

Again, in Message Filter, when the dialogue  box opens up, most of the window is off the screen.  It works nicely, it just needs some cosmetic touch ups.  These bugs are probably already reported.  Just thought I would insert my personal findings to date. 

I am excited about Mozilla and the browser project.  Can't hardly wait for the finished product.  Keep up the great work.
