There is only one mainstream desktop platfom. Win32. Macromedia supports it.

Linux x86 had to wait for Flash7 plugin for several months. I think,
Shockwave support for Linux is not available. People have to use CrossOver
plugins in order to run Shockwave on Linux.

PPC got plugin only for MacOS.

I don't have anything against Flash as long as it is not enabled on my
workstation and webdesigners create "Skip F... Intro" link :). yet it
would be nicer to implement it in SquirrelMail with alternatives.

Your idea is good. Only patch has to be different.
