Speciesist! ;)
As for BonzyBuddy, I can't say that I've ever heard of a bonzi.

Of course.
And Mozilla.
But no exception for Thunderbird, from what I've seen/heard.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but there *was* an
issue where it would behave badly if you uploaded multiple files in one

I see at least one of the devs in the help forum here, and the first
post of his I looked at is dated today.

Oh! No, I lost track of the conversation. But those little mental

Never heard of it. (And no real need for gallery makers; I've only
done one gallery (for a friend), and I used perl.
