Jerry, where is the Safari "debug" menu? Now I do have the "send window friendly attachments " in my attachments window. ( Panther user) What does the mail do? send the attachment with a .doc extension? What does "window-friendly actually mean? ----I need that debug window badly. The BBT Bank will not open in Safari, only in explorer. They told me they are working on it. I hate to turn on explorer just to check this one account. Part 2 : Now I upgraded my Mozilla to the latest version, I had no trouble doing that. But with firefox - well------- It downloads just fine, but then there is no installer , or better, the installer is empty. After making at least 6 attempts, I gave up last night, made three more attempts this morning, however, what I have on my desktop won't open to be installed. All I can get is the big firefox icon. There is a warning on the download page that it might take longer because of great demand ---- but----- Marta On Jul 5, 2004, at 3:00, Jerry Yeager wrote:
