Re: Mozilla successes.

Tom and Esther:

This is really great to hear.  Thanks so much for your report, and for
the time and patience to download and build the latest version from the
Sun Mozilla team.

Please continue to let us know what you find out, to help us find the
remaining bugs... I am sure that I join many on the list in looking
forward to getting these changes upstream into the Mozilla trunk soon,
so that all versions of Mozilla can be as accessible as this one (and
more).
