HTML messages are displayed in an IFRAME, for both security and  
presentation purposes (the HTML message should be displayed via the  
formatting contained in the message, not any Horde/IMP display  
formatting).

Plaintext messages are not displayed in an IFRAME - they contain no  
formatting data and present no security hazard.

As far as IE vs. FF... it sounds like IE is capturing these actions  
within an IFRAME and FF isn't.  I don't know if this is a "feature" or  
bug of FF.  I don't have much time to look at this at present, so any  
help in determining this would be appreciated.
