Wasn't there a way to fix this in the registry? The main beef I have with this patch is that it turns all '@' in the url into 'bad syntax'. Contrary to what most people think, having a username in the url does NOT violate any RFCs. 2396 just recommends against passwords in the URL, but it does make allowance for usernames.
The problem with Mozilla (although I use it under FreeBSD) is that it can be p***-slow on Windows boxes. Rather use Opera if you want a nice fast browser (and don't mind non-freeware.) Browser religious wars, here we go :) -John ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Daniel Lorch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 12:14:45 +0100 Subject: Re: [swinog] Microsoft Internet Explorer Patch 834489 > hi again > > > Microsoft has released a IE patch Number 834489.
