Yes, but how do we get it implemented.  I mean, if Netscape/mozilla.org 
doesn't care about the developers who work on the ports, then it will never 
happen.  

I'm not asking for any major or drastic changes, just a little courtesy.  
And, being added to a bugzilla CC list, and saying, please look into this, 
won't cut it, as, I get a LOT of those types of emails already, mostly 
specific to BeOS, and, I may miss the email.  Which, is why after thinking 
about it, a read only mailing list, is probably not the best solution 
either.  Email is just not reliable any more.  Problem is, I don't know 
what else could be done. :-(

I don't want to see this issue die again, as this is not the first time I 
have brought this up either.  I had been told in the past that 
Netscape/mozilla.org was looking into the issue, but never heard anything 
after that.  And, I know you and I are not the only ones who feel this way.
