Jan, you need some vacation. Why don't you take a rest from the list
for a few weeks? Usually, your input is very helpful and your slaps
most of the time justified. But this time he's got an excellent point.
The fact that he hasn't read the archives doesn't change the issue a
bit. IMP is full of IE bug work-arounds, like Apache and a zillion
other open-source programs. Why wouldn't that apply to Firefox as
well? I know, I know... submit a patch. That'd be an acceptable reply.
But yours wasn't.

Greets,
