Nancy, that worked, but I still have a problem with IE 6.
I still can't read email..please see post about the IE 6
message "error encountered while retrieving data ......" I
just posted awhile ago.
Maybe there is a tag or a restriction put on my settings
somewhere, I did have an ADbot and spyware problem awhile
back ago, but I seemed to have gotten rid of it. Any
suggestions?
