[CLUE-Tech] Mozilla 0.7 Web Browser Problems/Fixes

[Grant Johnson]

I have had truobles with some services not taking some browsers.  My band 
refused to recognize my browser when NS 4.7 came out.  I had to go back to 
4.5.  I also have had to complain several times when they say they support 
NS 4.x when they do not.  It only works under winders, on under Linux, it 
says unsupported browser.  I send them nasty grams saying that their 
browser sniffer is roasted, and I am using NS 4.7, and they say they 
support it, so, why does it say unsupported browser.  So far, they have 
been responsive.  HOWEVER, do not expect the same of hotmail.  Try this 
browser on some other secure sites.  If it works there, but not hotmail, it 
is a browser sniff issue.  In that case, you know what this sniff smells 
like, and it make never come to be.  Or, it may get even worse, and hotmail 
may become a microshaft internet exploder only site.
