If anyone says to you ""Why don't you use Internet Explorer, > like everybody else?", tell them that about half of those who view the Web now use browsers that are NOT Internet Explorer. In a recent log of visits to 19 different pages on my Web site, 51.8% of the visits were by browsers that were NOT IE. Another site reports that 65.1% were not IE. See my <http://www.rossde.com/internet/browsers.html>. The webmail.bellaliant.net server is sniffing for "Firefox". This is invalid. If sniffing can be justified at all, the site should be sniffing for "Gecko". For an explanation of "sniffing", see my <http://www.rossde.com/internet/Webdevelopers.html#sniff>. Also see the very recent thread in this newsgroup with the subject "Adobe Flash plugin problem?", which discusses spoofing (a method for defeating sniffing). I get the login page for the www6.memberdirect.net site without any problem. Since I don't have an account there, I can't tell if there is sniffing beyond the login page. Finally, your signature should have the "-- " (dash-dash-space) on a separate line without any text. -- David E.
