I don't get where people say Communicator (at least on Mac version) is unstable.
I have had exactly 2 type -2 Quits since updating from 4.7.8. from 4.7.7
(in July).
Both times they were brought on by saving email that was sent in either
Quoted printable or Mutipart MimE type as "text" instead of as source.
This apparently bug has been in Communicator since 4.0 days and I have
brought it up with netscape every time they have gone through a revsion
up a to and including 4.7.8
Evidently I appear to be the only one that saves all my emails as
separate files for future reference.
when I changed from 4.7.6 to 4.7.7 I had 5 of the same type-2 quits for
Communicator for the very same reason.
So Communicator is one of the most stable Browsers there is on Mac. Even
IE Mac gives more problems and AOL Mac as well.
