I think Mozilla 0.9.7 DOES send it. Look at my access log for loading and reloading 
the root URL:

127.0.0.1 - - [15/Mar/2002:16:55:56 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1456
127.0.0.1 - - [15/Mar/2002:16:55:56 -0800] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 295
127.0.0.1 - - [15/Mar/2002:16:55:56 -0800] "GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 2326
127.0.0.1 - - [15/Mar/2002:16:55:59 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 -

127.0.0.1 - - [15/Mar/2002:16:56:01 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 -

The last field is the # of bytes sent. The first fetch sends a bunch of data. The 
later ones send nothing, but a 304 status which is the proper response to an 
If-Modified-Since (whose cache is still valid).

Things for you to consider:

- Version of Mozilla?
- Did you hit reload? Only a second query would send the If-Modified-Since.
- There are 2 other If- headers, but I didn't read up on them.
- Settings of the cache in your browser.
- Do browsers not send this if they detect something about the server? (like HTTP 
version?)
