I have no, but don't worry - problems can be much worse. M$ Outlook
Express
(russian edition) creates in home directory files called Inbox, Drafts
and Sent
written on russian encoded in 64-bit encoding (comething like
BBLIMVSDLNZdfSFDIOPFJ,
looks absolutely awfull in home directory)
and have no opinion to not to do it. If you connect Netscape to the same
server & user,
it will create own set of Sent and Drafts folders (in english), and
can't both open or delete
folders created my M$ outlook express.
P.S. Anybody know, how to prevent Netscape to connect
messenger.netscape.org every startup ?
It's very annoying on auto dialup connection.
