Subject: Very suspicious behavior in email client (Netscape)
Sorry folks, I forgot I selected 'Directory Server' in the 'Addressing'
folder inside the Preferences window in netscape. I'm giving myself a
crash course in linux and I selected Directory Server to see what it
did. I'm embarrassed to say, I have found out.
Never mind.
