This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This is a follow-up in response to your e-mail that directed me to this bug to
update it.  This is not the bug that I submitted.  The URL and the summary above
are not what I submitted.  I don't know anything about Java. 

The URL should be:  http://www.ot-mp.net/7love/dia_7_love.html

The bug that I submitted is in regards to the first two graphics on the URL. 
They still do not resolve.  They appear blackened out: treeevil.jpg and
treelove.jpg.

Both graphics have had the extension .jpe added. I did not put them there.   I
don't know why.  I have extensive use of graphics across my site and this
problem does not appear elsewhere.  I have deleted them from the server and
replaced them. The problem remains.   They appear correctly in my Netscape
composer.  The graphics correctly display in MS IE. 

The structure of this reporting form is unfathomable to me. 

Thank You for the follow-up.

Dear Reporter,

Mixing of several bugs is undeisrable in bugzilla - could you please read the Bug Writing Guidelines at <http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html> to see the 
kinds of information we need in a bug report. Please report back with more information (like BuildID and steps to reproduce) after reading those guidelines and consider using the guided form to report future bugs. 

The guided entry form can be found at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided> 
Thanks for your help in testing Mozilla.

Since you distanced yourself from your initial report and like the issue in comment #3 (which should have its own and separate bug report) it seems to work now (works for me), I will close this bug.

However, if you see this problem in a recent build of Mozilla, feel free
to return and ask for this bug to be reopened.

Marking INVALID (don't take it personally, Bugzilla doesn't have a politer option ;-)
