[SATLUG] A few questions on Mozilla 0.9.8

[Walt DuBose]

I downloaded Mozilla 1.7.3 and installed it as suggested in
/usr/local/mozilla   I still have the old version that was
installed by an rpm in /usr/lib/mozilla.

Just to be safe, I'm going to rename /usr/lib/mozilla to make
sure that nothing is needed from it before I remove the directory.

I now have return receipt capability but still no spell checker
as spoken about in 0.9.8.
