Oh?  When did this start working in NT?  I haven't checked the last
three or four months (I was finally able to switch jobs and chuck out
NT in favor of pure FreeBSD[1]), but before that I checked _often_ (I
hate click to front).  Win95 only, even after flaming.

[1] I miss only one thing - Eudora.  For handling personal mail Eudora
is wonderful - for mailing-lists, I prefer Gnus.
