I've got so used to various html editors doing things for me 
that I don't want done that I assumed someone thought this was a 
feature. Netscape 4.7 Composer _doesn't_ do this.  I haven't 
checked NS7.1 yet . . . but surely there's _some_ way to keep 
Mozilla from jogging the editor's elbow in this elaborate, 
complicated and destructive way?
