[a bit OT] Problems uploading files from browser
Slightly OT because it affects NS4 and IE too so I think it's an ISP problem, but hopefully someone will know the answer. I cannot upload files to a server via forms on a webpage. For example, trying to post an attachment to a bug on Bugzilla and uploading a file to the W3C HTML Validator, http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html When I try to send Moz just flashes a message in the status bar "Connecting to" then, usually less than a second later, "Document Done". NS4 is more helpful in that a pop-up appears: "A network error occurred while Netscape was receiving data. (Network Error: Connection reset by peer) Try connecting again. and IE says "Cannot find server or DNS Error" If I re-connect using another ISP it always works so I figure it is a problem, but can anyone give me an idea of what could be causing this?

Mozilla displaying the MS KB search page
What do other people see at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx in the Search (KB) box at the top left? At the moment I just see the "Search now" link and the green button with a white arrow. There are supposed to be several input boxes to define your search criteria. Sometimes I see them, and sometimes not. Looking at the page source the code is there. Any reason why Mozilla would display this differently at different times? It may be that it's only my home machine, which is running a CVS build, that has this problem and not my work machine which is running 0.9.9. Both W2K.

Look at other posts of mine and you'll see that the From: line is Parish This post was different (I hadn't spotted this until you pointed it out) in that, while composing the message I needed to restart Moz to double check my facts, so did File->Send Later, restarted Moz, then Edit Message As New from the Unsent Messages folder. This, it seems has changed the From: line. Why? Because when sending e-mails my ISP doesn't allow ; it bounces messages saying the From: is not a valid Internet address (their way of preventing their customers sending spam I guess) so I use "NOSPAM" for e-mails. Posting to news.mozilla.org allows changing ``@'' to ``_AT_'', even though the messages go out through the same SMTP server. The cause is possibly (probably?) that I have changed the settings for news.mozilla.org to use the Sent and Unsent Message folders under my POP server instead of in Local Folders. Is this a bug, or by design? Anyone know? Thanks for pointing this out Morten.

Thanks. That's even better. I had thought about the problem of
hardcoding the entire string and checked about:config to see if there
were sub-sections to the string but couldn't see anything obvious. Just
checked again and these 2 options don't show up there.

That's what is needed isn't it? I was informed of those prefs when I
needed to get the MS KB search page to recognize Moz as Netscape 6 (see
the recent thread "Mozilla displaying the MS KB search page" in
n.p.m.browser).
So replacing "Netscape6" with "MSIE5.5" or whatever is all that is
needed, isn't it?

(PROPOSAL]: n.p.m.chat or n.p.m.social
OK, fellow Mozillians, what would it take to start a general purpose NG where nothing (legal) is OT? There is currently a thread, "Warum hat Mozilla 0.9.9 so viele neue Bugs? Ein Sabotuer" running in n.p.m.general which has become a thread about the German language. This is totally OT for any Moz NG but is (IMHO) a very interesting thread anyway. Sooner or later, in threads such as this, someone will cry, "OT", but there is nowhere to take it where it is On-topic. The Internet is an international community, especially in the Open Source world, and being able to have interesting, informed, intellectual discussions with people from other countries, cultures, and with different mother-tongues, is fascinating, educational, and generally broadens ones horizons. I subscribe to several FreeBSD mailing lists one of which is .chat. Over the years there have been many threads there which have been totally OT re FreeBSD but were extremely interesting nonetheless; wine, language/grammar, geography[1], the price of petrol (US:gas), US gun law (long threads those :-)). For the most part those who frequent the n.p.m.* NGs are sensible, intelligent people with whom one can have an informed discussion so I believe we should have a NG where "anything (legal) goes" Comments? Observations? Counter-proposals?

With character coding set to ISO-8859-1 or -15 I frequently see IE-specific pages with a ? where there should be an apostrophe (single-quote). It is, AFAIK, what Windows calls "smart quotes", or rather a *mis* use of these (since they are being used as quotes. I also see an apostrophe as Z-umlaut in messages in these NGs posted by some Germans -- "I would rather gnaw my leg off, pack the bleeding stump with salt, and run in a circle on broken glass than have to deal with any Microsoft product on a regular basis." -- Dan Zimmerman, Vanderbilt University, when asked about Windows NT.
