[vlc] Re: ActiveX and Mozilla Control questions

[Michael Ditum]

I'm not sure if this happened for everyone but if I look at the mailing list
archive it shows my email with a bit missing. The first bullet point should

Ive tried document.screen.onmousemove = mouseMoved; and mouseMoved seems to
be called straight away but never again.

Sorry if it appears fine for everyone else...
