I was able to turn this feature on in Netscape 4.x by going to a Netscape
web site and running a Java applet (or something) that enabled the password
protected profiles. The process was NOT very convenient so I guess
Netscape doesn't really want advocate doing this. I just thought since it
worked in Netscape 4.x that it should work in Netscape 6.
I share my PC at home with someone and I DO use this feature to keep my
e-mail and Netscape settings separate from hers and I find it works rather
well (again in Netscape 4.x).
Well see what they do with the bug report... By the way are any of the
bugs reported to Netscape being fixed in the Mozilla code tree or are only
bugs reported via Mozilla fixed in the Mozilla code tree?
Peace.....

I'd be willing to bet that even if mozilla implemented this feature
Netscape
might turn it off in their version. Without real security something that
*looks* like it keeps others out is just setting Netscape up for a bogus
lawsuit when some disgruntled person discovers someone else reading mail he
thought was secret. If we make it clear the password doesn't protect
anything then that's practically instructing snoopers where to go.
