will an 8 spd front mech work alright on a 9 speed setup?

Call me dumb and maybe a bit out there but surely a front mech is three speed?

Cage is slightly wider - works 90% IME.

I've got a 7spd front mech, with a 9spd rear and that works, might just have got lucky though.

This actually explains a recent mech hassle I've been having. Doh.
