In that way, people who already have better newsreaders and emailers can use theirs in place of the built-ins, while there will still be support for news and email for people who do not have newsreaders or mailers. TimBL's original idea of unifying the handling of Internet protocols via browser URL processing is still a good one -- it has just suffered in the case of news and email from mediocre implementations in browsers. ====================================================================== Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN
