What Mick wants is for you to run firefox from a terminal, the copy the output |

messages into a mail |

There's nothing strange about that. Mozilla does not allow you to build a |
| 40 |
custom version of firefox that includes their trademark logos and then |
| 41 |
redistribute the binary. The USE flags give you a way to build with or without |
| 42 |
Mozilla's trademarks. |
