Hi, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the quiz on and off the WSG. Now to share the results with you. 1. Does your company have a single overarching intranet, which is the first point that everyone goes to, with sub sections for various groups OR do you have a separate site for

Hello all again. I just got curious and went on to test that .htaccess trick in the real world. I'd say that I'm less than happy with the results. With Thunderbird as the default mail app on Windows XP SP2, IE7, Firefox 2.0.0.7 and Seamonkey 1.1.4 did indeed open a new message window with the corr
