Actually, I downloaded Communicator mainly out of curiosity. I have only
rare crashes in IE, probably mostly due to Java. (Far less frequent than on
a pc at work). But I really cannot give up Entourage, so I tried to script
the mailto function. Seems like Netscape is doing what MS does on the PC
side -- restricts access to competing technologies.
That said, Communicator is actually a very pleasant surprise. Stable and
fast, it has *by far* the best cookie management system I've ever seen. For
example, I can make sure that Doubleclick cookies are never accepted while
cookies from my preferred sites are always accepted. This is definitely
something that that MacBU needs to add to IE.
