marking worksforme. Scott: please repopen this bug if you are still seeing it 
using Mozilla 0.8 (http://www.mozilla.org/releases/) or a nightly build 
(http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2001-02-20-12-Mtrunk/mozilla-i686-

mid-air.

Reporter : You are using a very old build (M17).
Please try it again with Mozilla0.8 from http://www.mozilla.org/releases/

Thanks for reporting bugs and using mozilla !

vrfy m17 is older than m18 is older than 0.6 is older than 0.7 is older than 
0.8. in general we don't support anything older than 0.7, and certainly not 
older than 0.6.
