| Oh, one more thing, was that with IE 7 or 6 installed?

| IE6 on all

Ah, okay, IE 6 does not support the newer aspects... so there's a partial
explanation I suppose.

Guess I'll have to put up an XP box and run through all the dang updates
including IE 7 to see what's what with the certs ... someday...

Thanks again..

I think he said he went back to v8 for SE.. while I'm still using v11 with
IE 6.. though I'm presently reconfiguring a new Seamonkey install so I'll
likely reinstall v11, import the certs and see what's what soon..

OK, yea, he is v.8 still in Win98.

OK. Keep us informed of anything new. In the meantime I may resume a
deep study of it myself & make some final decisions what to do. OK, bye.
