We're having similar problems with Hotmail, but some of our Netscape 4's work.  I
tracked it down to an error message in Historian (software we use to count web
use)  I haven't tried using a combo of IE, Homail and Historian, but will.  We
don't like IE as well for public use  for a lot of reasons, so I'm hoping  some of
the list  gurus will help me (us) out here.

TIA's to those who can...
