Mail/news reader Subject etc. header box does not scroll with message

I have reported this designed-in "feature" as bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71130 I criticise the fixed placement of the box on the screen, taking up valuable screen space, and list a number of problems this box creates when printing. Please vote for it if you agree, or

Whitespace difficulties and HTML vs text email

As suggested by Ben and Akkana, I plan to write a treatise on HTML vs plain text emails to the mail-news and editor newsgroups. I hope to do this in a week or so. The whitespace problems in the HTML editor (and therefore the plain text editor, which is a special case of the HTML editor) are a c

Bug or My Stupidity: You Decide!

I'm having some serious problems with the newsreader portion of 0.8 on Win98: namely, it opens new connections to my news server almost every time I try to view a message, and then doesn't close them. I have both enabled and disabled "Keep Alive" in the "Debug" section of "Preferences," but this

Manage bookmarks in 5. march nightly

Managing bookmarks: Drag and drop works in the sidebar, but not in the menu. Is this a known bug? Also drag and drop works only for one bookmark at a time, not all the bookmarks I have selected. Also when I rename a folder the folder moves itself somewhere else(sorting I suppose), but the us
