[e-mail], can you try this with mozilla 0.9.4 or a recent
nightly build?

I believe WebClient 1.1 works only with Mozilla 0.9.2.  If this is incorrect, 
please inform, I can try another version of Mozilla with it.

I have attached the release notes for the WebClient below.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/webclient/release-notes/1_1.html

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in the above.

Due to short of resource, webclient currently is not supported.
