I like what I see, not had time to really use it yet.
I have alrerady downloaded from mozilla.org , javs, flash and
macromedia ,though not real audio,
I guess these will not do since they are for mozilla.org's own tar bar
install. Yes ?

I noticed with Mozilla 0.9.8 when the app comes across a need that is
not yet installed while on the web
it throws up a warning message " XYZ is needed by Mozilla to , view,
enable whatever, would you like to install now from here -----<enter> "
And sometimes I did so.
your basically saying copy the url and install later , I think.

OK, this is in Windows(formerly Tasks) - Mail+Newsgroup - View
Settings for this Account - Copies+Folders , and like you I have ,
( dot ) Send folder on | fsnet.co.uk |
( dot ) Drafts on | fsnet.co.uk |
( dot ) Templates on | fsnet.co.uk |
alternates are `local folders '
I could go,
( dot ) Other | Sent folder on --->
fsnet.co.uk, atlt : `locat folders '
dito , Drafts, Templated,
but on these settings I have difficulty in getting composer to store
for later transmission.
Mozilla does not have a default "outbox", I guess it is supposed to end
up being stored in
Drafts. Clearly it is meant to work, something more needs to be got right.
It is not obvious to me at the moment. Keep throwing ideas at me..
regards,
John
