I don't know why this is either. My best guess would be a limitation in the Internet Explorer API or the way Web mail is designed (perhaps the onclick event is handled in such a way that it doesn't appear to be triggered by the user?). If it's the former, perhaps Microsoft will fix this with the upgrade. > (b) allow you to manage a whitelist of sites that will not be blocked Most do. However, in a lot of circumstances, people don't even realize they just installed a pop-up blocker because it's piggy-backed on another piece of software. More often than not, they don't associate the pop-up blocker they installed yesterday with the fact that Web mail is broken today. Even if they are aware of all of this, they might not know this feature exists or be able to change it themselves. > 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.

I agree wholeheartedly. However, like frames and many other useful technologies, overuse and misapplication have pretty much killed them. -ben ** To unsubscribe, send an Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body or subject line.
