That's what we were talking about. It seems to work entirely adequately
with the 4 or 5 versions of Lookout! and Lookout! Distress we've tested
with. It also works with Netscrape 4.x and 6.x, TkRat/Ratatosk, and
Mulberry. I haven't tried Eudora yet, but the wrecking^Wtesting crew
will get to that sometime soon.
Too bad that it's infested with the GPL virus, but it turns out to not
affect me really, because it's an optional package. ;^)
