My own personal, short

My own personal, short review of Mozilla 1.0: The mail client is unacceptable because it will always download the images in an HTML mail. In my opinion, that is an unacceptable violation of privacy, since many email marketing companies embed images in their messages to track whether or not users are viewing them. (If the image is downloaded, they assume the message was viewed.) The solution is to allow the user to disable downloading of images, or to allow the user to disable HTML mail altogether.

Having said that, though, I will also say that the Mozilla web browser rocks!
