I looked at mozex once and thought it was only for old versions of
Firefox. Go to the website and you can download the FF3 version
[mozilla a little slow on their updates]?

'ItsallText' i haven't got working somehow. For gmail one has got to
do a bash script from what i can gather. Mozex is fine for me and is
obviously similar to the addon for Thunderbird.

What have i learnt? Keep looking periodically at all addons - they
have put on alot this past year (don't think i've looked for a year).
