Mozilla Adding Spam Filters

Great gob Mozilla, but...

[GreyWolf3000]

Mozilla is continuing to shape up to be a great platform, but it's size is getting bigger and bigger. A lot of people get worried about this, or frustrated. A lot of posters will complain about the bloat.

Compile Mozilla from scratch, and you'll see that you can custom tailor the build and cut out a lot of cruft. Of course, if you just want the browser, go for Phoenix, but really compiling on your own puts you in the drivers seat and optimize it to your own needs.

The problem here is that binary distributions package it all together, so the result is the full-fledged Mozilla. Before you Gentoo zealots get out here and plug your so-loved-distro, remember that even you don't have as much control as you could.

Basically, my point is that all these features are a Good Thing, and that complaining about the bloat is silly, since it can be custom tailored to fit your needs.
