Fortunately not. :-) The bugs are not spotted easily but can create a lot of annoyance for sensible people like me. ;-) One bug that annoys me is that with FF turned on TB/Moz always puts a blank in front of every quote sign added by hand. If you receive such a mail with TB the quote is not recognized as such. No color quotes. :-( A little less severe but still annoying is that the wrapping position (that is used by clients that are not aware of FF) in the sent posting very often differs from what you see in the editor (I never was able to understand the systematics behind that). In other cases several combinations of mail/news clients in a thread supporting FF or not lead to OE style misquotes. Don't remember details, but I was part of such a disaster by myself. There are a lot more subtile problems with the TB/Moz implementation of FF (all of them are only very small ones per se). A more general discussion about the Pros and Cons can be found at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168420 But be aware: it's a looooong discussion. :-) More bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141983 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71110 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114954 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144998 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=123686 If you can read german I recommend to read also http://piology.org/mozilla/format-flawed.html Best regards, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer - OpenOffice.org Application Framework Project Lead Please reply to the list only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a spam sink. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
