This worked beautifully -- thanks for pointing it out.
However, since I've started running netscape this way, I've consistently had
all open netscape windows freeze whenever I send mail in reply to a news post
using the right click->Reply menu item. The mail gets correctly sent, but I'm
forced to kill netscape.
Thoughts, anyone?
