Let it run, some people really *think* that internet is "into" MS Internet
Explorer (and mail&news), the worst security breach known as of today. The 
cause
is Microsoft's great idea of calling "The Internet" to an (bad) application's
icon.
What can that email do to me when I connect, 6 over 10 times, with Linux, 3
with OS/2, and finally 1 with Windows95, and I don't use Macrobug programs, 
but
Netscape and SmartSuite ;)
