On 26 Aug 2002, it is alleged that Phil Demro sauntered in to netscape.public.mozilla.documentation and loudly proclaimed:
First off, you're well in the wrong place. Have a look at the groups in my sig. > First off, you need different icons for different types of files.

Having > everything look the same confuses me... which in all reality isn't that > hard Different icons didn't make it into the build you're using; they were supposed to, and did in the .zip, but didn't make it in to the .exe till the next day. As for icons for file types, this can be done; I'd done it ages ago using the Giovanni/grayrest icons, but the inclusion of some of those icons in 1.1b seems to include those. Additional iconpacks are available; unfortunately, I've lost the URL. . . . > Second, this program needs some sort of pop up killing attribute.

Hmm, something like the first option (open unrequested windows) under Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Scripts & Plugins: Allow scripts to? > Lastly, i need to know how to set up a free e-mail account like hotmail. With Moz? -- Can't use either Hotmail or Netscape WebMail directly thro' the e-mail client: <http://mozilla.org/start/1.0/faq/mail-news.html#3.5>. That said, there are a number of other services out there you can access either thro' a web interface or thro' an e-mail client. If you're looking for one, make sure it allows both IMAP and POP access. One with which I've been quite happy has been <http://myrealbox.com/>; they also support S/HTTP and (tho' and e-mail client) TLS. It has 10 Mb server storage (for IMAP). Novell is also pretty serious about anti-spam measures and has AV protection set up as well. If you can puzzle your way thro' Schweizerdeutsch, have a look at <http://my-mail.ch>: their authentication method is SCRAM-MD5, and you can set up an LDAP directory there which is accessible thro' a Contacts folder to which you can subscribe (/via/ IMAP, of course). The service has 20 Mb server storage. Both of 'em show Hotmail to the pathetic service it is.
