As far as my browser configuration, I have no idea - except that I have not run into
any
other problems with it that I know of - not saying all is well, but I haven't had a
problem.
What I found in the broswer setup is this...
Extensions of HTML, HTM, SHTML, and WCT are associated with a MIME type of
"text/html" and are "Handled By: Netscape (internal)".

OK... I have 3 areas - folder list, message list and preview area. In the preview
area,
the message gets displayed. It has 2 tabs... one is labeled "1" and the other is
labelled "message.wct". The tab labelled "1" brings up a split area - right side
contains the text message... left side has an icon and is labelled "message.wct" also.
If I right-click on the icon and select the option that says "Save (message.wct)" and
save it as a file with a .htm extension, then use Windows Explorer to find the file,
double-click it, it comes up in Netscape the way it should - all graphics, etc. So
that
works... But if I double-click the icon, it fires up Netscape - but nothing appears -
blank
page... that's it. If I select the tab that says "message.wct", I can see the message
in
the preview pane - but without the images.
