suse linux and netscape 6.2
Hi: I noticed soem problems regarding netscape on suse linux. In the mail section, I could not delete unwanted mail via simple highlighted them, i.e., when i highlighted some mails and then click the button "delete", nothing happens. I can only remove then after I opened them. When I compse mails and i tried to use "Address Book" function to add addressese from teh address book, nothing happens. The smae for the fuction of moving mails to certain folders ... Any ideas? on this? bugs from linux in general or just suse linux?

Gahn, I am not sure that this is a problem with SuSE Linux. A friend of mine dual boots SuSE 7.2 and Win2k, and has the same problem with Netscape 6.2 under both operating systems. Leads me to believe that it is a problem with Netscape 6.2. You might go over to www.mozilla.org and download the latest Mozilla build, which I believe is 0.9.9. I think you will find that Mozilla is generally a better bet than using Netscape, since they post new builds regularly, and bugs seem to be fixed very rapidly. Also, there are some nice features that have been implemented that are not yet out in an official Netscape version. Kevin -- If it weren't for geometry, life would be pointless.

AOL has bloated the hell out of Netscape and released it before it's time. Netscape as the other person said is based on Mozilla and an old version at that. Netscape 6.2.2 = Mozilla 0.9.4.1 while Mozilla itself is on 1.0 RC1 now and getting ready for a full release. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- "I've never been quarantined.
