• Users can now specify default font, size and color for HTML mail compose.
• Image blocking/disabling is now more flexible and users can “view image” to see blocked or not loaded images.
• Mozilla Mail now has CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 AUTH support.
• “Launch file” after downloading has been enabled for .exe files.
• As of Mozilla 1.4b, it is possible to build Mozilla for Win32 using GCC. See the win32 build instructions for details.
