Oops! The bug report on this was submitted almost 8 years ago. See bug #165538 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165538>. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other Mozilla-related applications.
