I accidentally brought up the Mail Reader, and I closed it from the Mail
Reader's File Menu.  Unfortunately, it also closed Mozilla too, which I did not
intend to do.
This is a mozilla mailnews bug, not a Grendel bug.

Need a bit more information.  Which menu item did you select from the File menu?  
Was your browser window already open?  Did you select this menu item from the 
mail window?  What build of the product are you using?

Thanks
I was using the original M14 release.  On an NT 4.0 SP4 machine, I always 
maximize the browser window before opening the mail application.  I remember 
selecting "Close" from the mail application menu and to my surprise the browser 
window also closed.  I believe the mail application "Close" should only close 
the mail application and not the browser.  I will try to repeat the bug On an NT 
4.0 SP5 machine tomorrow using the 04/11/2000 nightly build and report the 
findings. Talk to you tomorrow.
Attached file Dr. Watson Log
Using nightly build 2000041804, I opened the browser in maximized mode.  
Selected the e-mail client from the bottom task bar, and after the e-mail client 
opened selected FILE|QUIT from the e-mail client menu bar. E-mail client closed, 
browser disappeared and crashed.  Attached a Dr. Watson log for your review.  
Info: NT4.0, SP5, 128MB, NeoMagic MagicMedia 256V display.
Scott, this looks slightly familiar.  Do you know of a bug to dup this against? 
 Assigning to you.

Can this still be reproduced?  If nobody says anything, this should be closed as 
WORKSFORME...
Mass moving M16 to M17 - look for nsbeta2 before anything else.
Target Milestone: M16 → M17
this is working just fine in current builds. It must have gotten fixed along the
way.
