I have no, but don't worry - problems can be much worse. M$ Outlook Express (russian edition) creates in home directory files called Inbox, Drafts and Sent written on russian encoded in 64-bit encoding (comething like BBLIMVSDLNZdfSFDIOPFJ, looks absolutely awfull in home directory) and have no opinion to not to do it. If you connect Netscape to the same server & user, it will create own set of Sent and Drafts folders (in english), and can't both open or delete folders created my M$ outlook express. P.S. Anybody know, how to prevent Netscape to connect messenger.netscape.org every startup ? It's very annoying on auto dialup connection. > > Thanks, > > Jim Durham > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
