Re: Proxy Setting for Secure proxy not enabled in MSIE/Mac 5.1.2

[Jimmy Grewal]

This is an OS bug that Apple hasn't fixed yet.  The problem affects other
apps which support separate HTTP and HTTPS proxy servers.  In the mean time,
you can manually enter that setting into IE.

As far as the other issue, we'll look into it.  I'm prety sure IE will work
either way (* not required), but if that's not the case then we will try and
fix that in a future release.
