I totally agree, however, i seem to be the only want that has this
problem becase no one has brought it up yet, could be becase it's not a
clean install. But the http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/start.html at
startup doesn't seem to do anything, instead, it writes the "Well, we
know you don't know what to do now, so that's what we suggest you to do
now" over both panes, blocking the start page making the option
pointless. Could this be a bug?
