The users I'm talking about here are two internal people, not the subscribers.
Budget was tight, and rather than wrangling text from both Netscape and IE, we just made a decision. I don't remember the quirk exactly, I think it was the way wrapping was handled in the textarea in NN.
Subscribers? They can use whatever they like, as long as they get Flash Player 6 functionality. If you take issue with that, sorry, but this is supposed to be a money-making operation and subscribers were finding it far too easy to forward .pdf's by email.
We have it documented, thanks to a temp, that one company purchased a single subscription and forwarded it to 15 others. That's a loss of $3,00 /mo, $3,600 /yr.; a lot of groceries.
Now they are starting to read it on line, through Flash, and if they print it out and distribute it, at least it's more hassle. Unfortunately PC's aren't a secure environment.
Side note: We surveyed subscribers in late Winter - over 95% read the .pdf's onscreen. That made the decision to deliver the news via Flash much easier.
Cheers - Miles
PS Std. browser I use is Mozilla - faster & sharper. (Except when I have to edit a news story!) /mt

That's plain wrong. This is the /world wide/ web, not the IE users' club. Either stop that BS or keep off of the internet!
