PLUG lists and Netscape

moin, moin,

we've been having some delays with people posting from Netscape 4.6 and
higher. Apparently they broke something. Now, I'm as surprised as
everybody that Netscape has a bug ;-), but we have to work around it.

If you're using Netscape to mail the list, please follow the following
directions.

    Edit the two .js files in your .netscape directory (liprefs.js and
    preferences.js) to include the function call:

    user_pref("mail.suppress_sender_header", true);

    BTW, the binary includes a comment which says that this is only
    necessary on Unix.

    Since Communicator regenerates this file upon exit, the change
    must be done when Communicator is not currently running.  With the
    next start, it will stop adding the Sender: header and things
    start to work like a charm again.

Thanks to Art Wagner for ferreting out this fix and getting his posts to
appear in less than 12 hours :).

ciao,

der.hans
