Cool changes, Tony - Page 3

Well, I reinstalled it.... changed to a skypilot skin since I couldn't seeme to find an IE skin that worked... but it's still got Netscape all over it. It's called "navigator", has "messenger", "composer".... those are all Netscape apps and work like netscape apps. Edit/Preferences, to change the home page for instance. It seems to me that they took the Netscape code and modified it, like CrazyBrowser did to IE.... Am I way off base here?

Skypilot is awesome! It's always been my favorite.

Mozilla rose from the ashes of Netscape. The first thing they did was to completely throw out all of Netscape that had anything to do with rendering web pages. This is the guts of the web browser - what takes HTML and its brethren and turns it into web pages.

So while there are one or two things that have the same titles and such, the "meat" of it is completely new. For now, one can just use the browser part of the suite and just forget about mail/newsgroups and Composer, unless you need them. (It's never a bad idea to get rid of Outlook)

True enough (about the Outlook). I'll have to play with it and see what happens. I'm just having a hard time overcoming my traumatic experiences.... *shiver* I'll start with the mail client.....

The only problem is that *sigh* Skypilot doesn't work so well with the Mozilla mail client in 1.4.

Now, Skypilot is an add-on, so it's the author of Skypilot's fault, not Mozilla's fault...

That's why I love Skypilot, but I use Modern.

OK, how do I create/edit stationery in here? Does it exist? The help file has no information under "stationery". Am I looking for the wrong thing??

Help! I've been a wind-ers victim and I can't get out!
