Hi Kelly and all, Yes, I've noticed a remarkable increase in the amount of spam over the last week or so from iiNet.
To add insult to injury, I've found that their Webmail program has a nasty little bug which deletes email from your inbox when using the "back" button on the browser. They have a red disclaimer on most pages about using the "back" button - but do nothing to remove the button from the screen. Unfortunately this disclaimer goes away if you view an attachment on-line - when you are forced to use the back button. My first report to iiNet support was responded to with a curt "we can't fix this, just don't use the back button", but I don't believe this is the correct answer for support to be telling their customers. I mean, let's face it - the "back" button has been on browsers since Mosaic, and other web sites generally encourage you to use it - this is a standard feature on a browser, and it's kind of akin to saying "yea, don't use File, Quit as it will wipe half the files of your hard disk" ... Pfft, what a crock of. I have asked for the location of an alternative version of Webmail, as I'm anticipating buying a new machine in the near future, and would like to administer my emails from work so there are not a billion to download when I configure the machine and finally connect up to the internet. After suggesting this was a bug - they responded with the fact that it was a known issue, but there was no ETA on the fix. I outlined my "buying new machine" scenario as above and asked whether it was anticipated if it would be rectified prior to this time, and I got another email saying that this wasn't an outstanding issue .... I'm finding iiNet support very frustrating at the moment - if it's an issue, why can't they simply spawn a Webmail session in a new window (as they already do), but remove the navigation tools - particularly if they have such a destructive property, and disallow right clicking on the page (I access Webmail from one of those PC things)??? Has anyone else experienced this? Or am I just getting grumpier as I get older? Richard around 14/5/03 5:22 PM, Kelly Duffy <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> shared: > Why should I be happy?
