>From the original roadmap at
http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap/roadmap-26-Oct-1998.html:
"It has been over five months since I posted to mozilla.general my
then-current thoughts on the Mozilla browser development schedule. That
schedule listed only one large feature, mail/news integration, and put
off enumerating the rest until "later, [...] barring a better idea."
Since then, a lot of great work has been done by all mozilla.org
developers, fixing warnings and bugs, porting and cleaning up code,
improving performance, refining downloadable chrome, setting up the
autoconf build system, etc. But the mail/news code from Netscape never
arrived."
Netscape never released the 4.x (or even the half-way-to-5.x) mail/news
code. How can anything in Mozilla be derived from it?
(I'm genuinely curious; an assertion like that made by most people I
would have disregarded as misinformed, but from an @mozilla.org email
address it makes me wonder if Everything I Know Is False...)
