Yes, but the property name varies. NS6 does use document.npaForm.enctype
(as per DOMs 1 and 2) whereas NS4 and IE55 use document.npaForm.encoding.

From quick tests, it looks like they're modifiable.

IE55 at least is very particular; it will script error if you don't give
it something it recognises, e.g. the above when I copied it off your
e-mail... this should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
