[SuSE Linux] Netscape e-mail question
I have just installed Communicator 4.5 this morning and wow, what an improvement over 4.05 especially in the mail window. However there is only little thing that I can't find an option for that I could do in both Outlook Express and Outlook 98. I like to read messages in the preview window rather than opening a message window. I would like messages to remain unread until I explicitly mark them read. Is this possible? -- Steve Crane stevec@netlane.com <A HREF="http://www.datapro.co.za/~stevec"><A HREF="http://www.datapro.co.za/~stevec</A">http://www.datapro.co.za/~stevec</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I use 4.5 explicitly and have had no stability problems at all, occasionally though I have found that if you hit a webpage that causes one of those little popup netscape windows with additional hyperlinks to appear, if I would close it before it was completely loaded, sometimes it crashes out netscape.

Thats good!! It seems from some other email I got that various people have no problems, severe problems, or have decided to go another direction. I hope that opera comes soon; but... I think Netscape 3.04 maintains a higher standard of stability than the 4 series. The most stable web browser I have found though is lynx. I just cannot get the plug in to see the dirty pictures to work :) -- Michael E.
