I believe you've found a bug that's been acknowledged by MR/2's author. I seem to remember during installation, a window coming up explaining a problem of that nature with some video drivers/cards, and asking if you could see the tabs... I never had a reason to select "no" though, so I have no idea what it does. :) -Don ...

Today, I used MR/2 ice to gather mail, and noticed that when I read mail now, the lines of text are all crammed together. PMMail is also registered, so I just use that in the meantime, but it is an irritating problem with MR/2 ice. Take care, Dana ...
