Are you kidding me?
Red Mountain is way much better than.....................
Oh! E-mail clients!
I thought you were talking about cheap wine.
I forgot about Thunderbird. I'll have to check that one out.
I use to have it on my computer, before the HDD failed.

I noticed that Spiral Frog (music download site) doesn't work on Opera.
No sound. And it's always has this error message when I hit a button or kink:
THIS APPLICATION HAS FAILED TO START BECAUSE XPCOM.DLL WAS NOT FOUND.
RE-INSTALLING THE APPLICATION MAY FIX THIS PROBLEM
Also when I go to Comcast Home Page, where it has the news and video links in the middle of the page; they also don't work.
So I guess I have to use both browsers for different applications.

I use that feature on FTE in our admin panel. If the panel detects a non-IE browser it gives a plain-jain stripped down version... but when I tell Opera to pretend to be IE it works fine.

Oh Yoo Hoo !
When I post with Opera..after I submit my post... it doesn't show up right away as a new post.
It shows up later.
Ken...Is there a setting I need to make it posts show up right away or is it FTE causing this ?

well if opera would support 3rd party browser extensions it would be great, and I like to arrange my bookmarks not have the browser alphabetize them

Opera also has an email client. Tools -> Mail and Chat accounts
Personally, I use Eudora. It's been around for 12+ years. Now its open source and its being made to work with Firefox by the Mozilla project. Once its out of beta I foresee many Thunderbird users switching to it.

Opera does support third-party extensions. Both Opera and Mozilla (which is based on the Netscape extension) extensions.
Plus there's a ton of Opera "widgets" here:

Roboform isn't compatible with Opera. Opera does has the "Wand" which manages passwords and also has the ability to insert items into forms (right click on the form and click Insert Personal or Insert Note).

One question I have regarding Opera... and I am not 100% certain how to fix it. (Ken might be able to assist???)
I have my "user cp" set as one of my home pages, and whenever I visit for the first time, my subscribed threads appear that have new posts.
Now, if I open a new window (or even refresh the current user cp page) - it "marks all forums read" automatically. And it does not mark new threads in bold font.
How can I rectify this?
