Hi,
A particular website I want to access insists on IE6 (or just possibly
it may be satisfied with Netscape Navigator 6), reckoning this is needed
for 128-bit encryption of contributions. I think there's been some discussion about Opera masquerading as IE6,
but is it possible to set Galeon (1.3.3) to masquerade, or failing that,
Konq?

Yes there is. I posted this on the newbie list a couple of weeks ago and it looks like it would apply here also.
Here's the trick for Mozilla:
-Type in "about:config" in the address bar.
-Right click on "Preference Name" and choose New => String
-Enter "general.useragent.override" as the name.
-Enter "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)" or "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" as the string.
-Restart Mozilla and you're done.
Brant, I'm running 1.4 here and ran into a problem. If I used this string, Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
I got an error saying "INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Expected a version > 5! Version = 4"
So I switched to
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) and mozilla is able to start just fine.

Noted.
Revised again:
-Type in "about:config" in the address bar. -Right click on "Preference Name" and choose New => String -Enter "general.useragent.override" as the name. -Enter "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" as the string. -Restart Mozilla and you're done.
I hope that's the final revision. :-)
