Doing this with a browser is really rather like sending a boy on a man's job. Losing tabs is not such a crisis, but losing line breaks is, and both browsers and Microsoft's toy mailers like to do that. This might be a good time to think about setting up mail on your FreeBSD box. It's not difficult. If you can't do that, send me the text of the PR and ftp the file to ftp://ftp.lemis.com/incoming/, and I'll do it for you.
