IE has the ability to whitelist sites, the problem is showing the user
how to whitelist sites 20 times a day.

Subject: [Modus] Pop-Up Windows In ModusWebMail

* This is the modus mailing list *


I understand everyone's point of view on this and while I am not opposed

to a re-write of the web mail, I'm surprised at the proliferation of 
pop-up blockers that are not smart enough to:

(a) differentiate between requested and unrequested pop-up windows

and/or

(b) allow you to manage a whitelist of sites that will not be blocked

I use Mozilla as my primary web (and mail) client and while I realize 
instructing people to not use IE is futile, this free software has both 
of the above capabilities.

As a web site developer, I feel I should remind the world from time to 
time that pop-up windows are not all bad - they serve a valuable 
function in many applications.

Getting off my soapbox.
