Mail notification sound does not work in 6.2 and there is nothing you can do to make it work that I know of. Sound notification works in Mozilla as of about 2 weeks ago or so and uses the default New Mail Notification sound file in Windows. I don't know about the other OS's. -- Jay Garcia - Netscape Champion Novell MCNE-5/CNI-Networking Technologies-OSI UFAQ - http://www.UFAQ.org
