Well, everything works great in these new CSS mockups except for one thing.
NETSCRAPE DOESN'T SET THE COLORS FOR THE BODY TAG! Yes. I'm using Netscrape
4.5 and when I specify a style sheet like "BODY { background-color: #000000;
color: #FFFFFF }", Netscrape doesn't set the page background to black and
text to white. I don't know whether or not MSIE does because my copy of
MSIE5 bombs as soon as it is launched (it's running on WinNT, what do you
expect! :-), so could someone please check it out (CSS mockup 3 is the one
that should have a black background for the page) with MSIE (versions 3, 4,
and 5) and let me know what it does?

Anyway, go check out the new CSS mockups at www.Dionysia.org/temp/mailman/
and let me know what you think.

I always specify type size in ems, which is the ideal relative type size
measurment unit.
