I'd point to the *fact* that real users (not the likes of us on these
lists), on the whole, use IE.  I'd have to question overall, how useful
would non-IE functionality be?

That said, why don't you provide a patch against HEAD on your own website.
I'm sure there are plenty of Mozilla/Firebird shops out there at use Horde
and would very much appreciate a patch like this very much.

Thanks,
