Mmmm I was referring to extensions not plugins. I don't believe plugins will
help me in my quest. Perhaps I am wrong. Poking around in FF's cryptic
resources could be disastrous for a novice like me. I can troubleshoot and
experiment just fine. That's something I don't want to muck with just yet
until I get a firm grasp on how the Gecko engine works. Thanks just the same
though. FF is quite confusing to me. In fact, I wonder if a sendmail
configuration file is any worse :(
