Well I wish the defaults were set to what I like ;)  I send mail from so 
many places, and each time I have to set up Mozilla:  Windows/Linux from 
home, Linux from work, etc.  I don't have it in "compose using plain 
text" but I always choose to "send using plain text" so that's probably 
it.  But that's ok, as long as my mail is readable as plain text to 
people, I can live with the blue line on my end.

I was just going to ask about how to change the default path for IMAP... 
I guess I'll lookin about:config on Mozilla.

Usenet News is like a huge syndicated set of mailing lists.  I don't 
know how to define it well, maybe someone else can.  rn trn and tin are 
programs to allow you to read news... Mozilla mail can do this too ;)
