I thought this problem of pulling email address from browser
mail preferences, was solved in a recently release of Netscape?
If not this means I need to change my email address to
bogus@bogus.com or whatever, every time I use the web, then
reenter it for use when sending mail in Netscape's mailer?
(I'm using Netscape 3.0.)
