The "browser" that "does not support frames" to which the error speaks,
is the www4mail browser - and not your Netscape.

Did your response from WWW4Mail look something like this:
--begin--
FRAME: [1]BrandBar
FRAME: [2]SectionContent
FRAME: [3]PrimaryNav
This site is frames-based. Unfortunately, your browser does not
support frames. If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape,
you will need to upgrade to 3.0 or higher to view websites with
frames.

If yes, then WWW4Mail shows you where to proceed next. There are three
pages that make up the frame:
nav_top_moon.htm
moon_home.htm
nav_bottom_moon.htm
In order for you to now retrieve the individual pages that make up the
frame, you need to construct a full URL for each page. To do this,
just append the file name to the end of the main page, which was:
http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/moon
...we then get...
http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/moon/nav_top_moon.htm
http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/moon/moon_home.htm
http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/moon/nav_bottom_moon.htm
You can now retrieve those individual pages using a WWW4Mail server:
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SUBJECT: {Leave Blank}
BODY:
XBYJS
http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/moon/nav_top_moon.htm
http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/moon/moon_home.htm
http://www.pbs.org/redfiles/moon/nav_bottom_moon.htm
BTW...you can almost picture that frame in your mind. You have a top
frame and a bottom frame and you can figure the home frame is in the
middle. So you have three horizontal frames there, it would seem. :-)
Okay, that is basically how you attack the problem. Gerald Boyd's web
site has instructions in great detail on dealing with sites with
frames. I strongly recommend you send for his "How To Do Just About
Anything by E-mail - Part I":

Read the section entitled:
"WWW by E-mail - Sites with frames"
Good luck, Emilio. :-)
