Because, your attach has turned into message body rather than attach a  
file. There is no way I (or we are) am going to copy and paste as it won't  
work to get apply clean. See here:

I don't think the 'regression-test: test' will be include in the ports  
tree, because it causes pointyhat/tinderbox hang if I remember it correct.  
Should be in the commit history, I believe.

I think most of us are busy at the moment. It looks like if it works great  
w/ Firefox 3/libxul by build and run time. Then it can be commit. From  
what I read in the release note and I don't think it breaks anything, but  
never know (hate when it happens :-)).
