Ah, so we're using ignorance (unfamiliarity = ignorance) as an excuse now?  :-)

BTW I noticed that more and more spam (junk email) is crashing Netscape
4.75 and 4.8. Why do you think that is?

Netscape's JavaScript engine (including the document object model aka "DOM") in the 4.x version is notoriously
incompatible with IE's and now the W3C standard (which didn't exist when NS4 came out, but I digress).  When
the spam uses HTML, and that HTML has embedded JavaScript, and that embedded JavaScript adheres to the W3C
standards, NS4 often times goes bananas.  People who write spam are (generally speaking) lazy rat bastards(tm),
and so they don't take the time to make their spam compatible with NS4.  If you turn off JavaScript you should
be ok (Edit->Preferences, Advanced page, uncheck "Enable JavaScript for Mail and News").

I had to turn on Earthlink's Spaminator, which BTW, is working great.

Glad it works good.
