First, I've turned on the Netscape Bug Report agent and sent out
bug report each time it crashes.
Second your method only works for email without attachments. I've
tried this way after crash, but only found that all the attachments
in the mail I used just before crash are screwed up and cannot be
recovered.
Last, the "Compress mail" menu doesn't work after crash on folders
I just used.
I just don't understand why Netscape pushes out Netscape 6 while
there still are so many serious bugs.
Thanks for your help.
