The same argument is given from OE (l)users. ;-)
FF *could* be a nice option, but unfortunately the implementation in
Mozilla/TB sucks.

First it has a lot of bugs (generates a lot of superfluous empty lines
on reply, sometimes misquotes etc., the Mozilla bugtracker is full of
them) and the idea to use the window size as floating width is
completely brain dead. It forces you to resize your window to a
ridiculously small size. IMHO the floating width should be set by the
user, independent from the window size (default should be the usual ~70
chars).

For these reasons I see FF as not usable in TB even if I agreed to your
statement that I quoted above.

But I agree that it sucks less than the Eudora from Morgan because
disabling FF for reading on my side fixes the problem for me. If the
window size nonsense was removed I would even consider turning it on
again for *reading*, but still not for sending (because of the mentioned
bugs).

Best regards,
Mathias
