</div>Which seems to me incorrect as I do that every day. I use Yahoo mail and I use Ubuntu/Mint and Firefox. I don't remember seeing that message. Neither for the "regular" or "all new" interfaces.<br>

It does that for SeaMonkey under Puppy but you can still say, "I don't care and continue".<br></blockquote><div><br>Which is sad, there is no functional difference between the two. I wish folks would either test for capability, or at least do a bit of intelligent analysis of the user agent instead of grep '$BROWSER'. Most user-agents tell you the rendering engine and version. This is only going to become more of an issue as webkit starts to take hold, and mobile devices become prevalent. You've already got Epiphany, Safari, Safari on iPhone, Palm WebOS, Chrome, Android, that are all are essentially the same browser with a different presentation, yet all provide slightly different user-agents (though in the case of chrome, a different javascript library).<br clear="all">
