See, I wouldn't mind going to a Forum if I had internet access from my workstation :-) Even if I could setup a rule on our firewall to let my workstation out in the wild, I follow the company's policy that NO (none, zero) workstation has any kind of access to the internet. So what this mean is, I have to KVM switch to a dedicated Browser machine, logon to the forum, post, follow up, etc...

In fact, it was one of the primary reasons I used Netscape in the 4.x days (before we found what a virus magnet outlook was). The thread/no-thread display is set for each folder; so the usability is quite high, unlike LokkOut Express, wher you can choose a "sort by subject" view, but it applies to every folder, and doesn't (iirc) truly thread the mesages. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Good is better than Evil because it's nicer" -- Mammy Yokum --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bud Durland, CNE Mold-Rite Plastics Network Administrator http://www.mrpcap.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
