Perhaps you have image blocking from a third party piece of software, or 
manual entries in your hosts file? Or even from Mozilla itself?

repling to messages

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me how to edit the quote message in Mozilla 1.2 on 
Linux, I want something such as

"On Sat, 30 Nov 2002 18:31:08 +0100,blah wrote:"

Can't see where this feature is, and I want it for mail and newsgroups 
if possible.

Cheers,
Daragh

Re: Getting Mozilla in front

On 30/11/2002 21:10 Marshall D Abrams stood on a soap-box and preached
to the unwashed masses:

I see this occasionally, but not just with Mozilla. I think XP gets it's 
Z-order screwed up sometimes. Try Minimizing All (the Show Desktop icon 
on the Quick Launch bar, or Win-M) then restoring the windows one by 
one. WFM.
