This patch better explains the features of Opera (not just a browser)
and removes the bias towards the Mozilla suite in the Desktop chapter
of the handbook.

"flavors" is spelled incorrectly here [1].

Are all these features enabled with the standard download?  I've  
never noticed any of these...

Yep. Actually, it's impossible to download Opera without them. Try them if you 
can, they're pretty good too :). Opera has a quick start guide online on how 
to use the mail client:
