Works reasonably well and fast; however, it still contains some frustrating quirks. For example: - *All* internet access inside our company is routed through a single proxy server. Custom ports are configured to allow access to different news servers on the Internet. Mozilla allows custom ports but won't allow a single proxy server address to be used for more than one account. Solution: Configure several local "alias" addresses, all of which point to the same proxy server. - This sounds so simple but I can't find a direct way to insert text from a file into the body of a message. Solution: Open the file in notepad, copy all the text, paste into Mozilla. What a pain in the backside. If anyone knows a direct way to do this, please clue me in.

I've been having a problem with Thunderbird forgetting message numbers when I mark a group read. It will list messages that I have already marked read when I synch again.

Yes, and not fully CSS 2.0 compliant either as several of my sites do not render correctly. I use border-color on some tables and they do not render.

The Mozilla folks claim that they are compliant, and that they will not support non-compliant extensions (read: MS). I find it ironic that one of the sites that doesn't render properly is that bastion of free software socialism, slashdot.org. ;) -- Bill -------- "I cannot under-take to lay my finger on that article in the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the object of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -- James Madison Back to top Iman L Crawford Guest Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2004 6:46 pm    Post subject: Re: NewsGroup Reader eshipman <mr_delphi_developer@yahoo!!!.com> wrote in news:MPG.1b6715813d5eb87a989715 (AT) forums (DOT) borland.com: Quote: Yes, and not fully CSS 2.0 compliant either as several of my sites do not render correctly.
