You’d want to have it both ways I think. You’d still want to allow sites you trust to have their way with your browser.

Another example for “destination allowing” is the webmail provided by GMX.de. You have to allow popups in order to see attachments but that means you’ve opened yourself up to their ads as well (triggered by unrelated “on-click” events. argh!). Making that work would require full path matching though.

The necessary changes for Firefox 3.0 support have now been integrated upstream. You can install the latest version from the AWS website.

The upstream code is now also hosted at a sourceforge project you can find at Sourceforge.

@Not Important

Nothing wrong with GUI clients. I just find that I’m much more productive in a text based client and IMHO mutt is a lot more powerfull then say Thunderbird. Also using a mouse just slows me down.

Amazing how people still use text-based email clients. What wrong, in your opinion, with GUI-based clients such as Thunderbird or Sylpheed?

Update for beta 5?

Perhaps setting the maxVersion to 3.0b* would be appropriate?

Also, the link to your bzr branch is broken.

Thanks
