i know... but see, i'm stuck with M$Outlook Express for now and by typing in
file://mfalcon/website it turns into file://mfalcon/website
and that's not good... i hate M$OutExpress... i hate it i hate it i hate
it... also not a real big fan of Netscape... want to try out Kmail, looks
cool on my box... thus far, able to do most everything i seem to want to do
(i check 3-4 e-mail addys in one foul swoop with M$OutExpress... rather than
3-4 seperate inboxes as Eudora last let me do...
