Remove the border styling from all input types.
If we remove all border rules from the input{} rule set, all <input> types -- checkboxes, radio buttons, and text fields alike -- will be displayed using their browser defaults.

My vote for this solution, because:

- browser defaults are what visitors are used to see on the browser they use every day.
- it is important that basic internet interface elements stay the same to build and keep trust
- input fields would anyway always have a border won't they?
- bordered radio buttons look somewhat strange and you don't really see the deviding "|" char.
- one element less that you have to check when customizing

second best option would be Adding redundant classes, BUT

- the more css due to needs of different browsers, the more bandwidth is needed for any page. That might sound ridiculous to those with xDSL connections but there are people out there still using modems.

 Is this normal behavior for IE/Mac/OS9 "popup/dropdown" menus, or is it specific to Dada Mail? Does anyone else have any ideas for fixes here?

This is "common" for css pages when rendered on MSIE/mac since MSIE is yet not very much css aware. I guess there is no real workaround. It was the same effect in previous DADAmail versions. If no one complained, just leave as-is, I just wanted you to know of.
