Well, I my best guess is that the code for Mozilla is the same across
platforms so the Unix/Linux versions would still have to have a plugin
to access these types of things. And on the other hand I've just not
investigated it because I don't use GUI mailers...I'm more of a
Mutt+ispell person. :) I was just bored at the time and looked up a
rebuttal to the original post.
