It would, and as I already said, there is no workaround.

Exactly, because it 1. has nothing to do with the browser manufacturer, 
most of the Horde developers are actually using Firefox these days, and 
making such silly assumptions is what annoys me. And 2., yes, this is 
annoying, but nothing more, it doesn't make the mailbox unreadable or 
unusable.

And if you you didn't notice, IMP (or Horde at all for that matter) 
looks much better in Firefox than in IE because we build on standards 
and not on crappy browser behaviour, so to imply that we are prejudiced 
against any browser because it is used by fewer people is quite 
impertinent.
