Hello again, Keith, that's an interesting window that I never looked at. Looking at it I see what looks like all the programs on my computer listed there, and then some. I was about to ask how it is used but then realizing that we all have to take some initiative in researching our own questions, I went to Help, Index, Applications, and "Handling different file types", and there's enough to read there to keep me busy tonight. Thanks for the lead. And thanks everyone else for taking in interest in a problem that fixed itself.
Regarding the "MS Word attachments in email problem," you also suggest changing from Netscape 4.79 to 7.1 ... you might be right; just that old habits die hard. I have it on my system, even in the quick launch tray, but I'm so accustomed to looking at 4.79. It's like looking at my wife; improvements are possible but the view becomes a habit. Anyway, I'll give it a try.... Harold > > With Netscape open, go to Edit, Preferences, Navigator, Applications. and check to > > see if Microsoft Word is listed in that set.
