Mike,

Quick question:  If I suspect a site *might* try to extract my email 
address and I haven't yet upgraded my Windows 3.1 version of Netscape 
Navigator 2.0 (at home) to 2.01, can I go and delete my email address 
from Options Mail and News Preferences before hitting the site, to 
thwart their effort?  Or is this capturing of email address bug in 
JavaScript using some mail authentication scheme to capture the email 
address of the unknowing site-hitter, independent of the email address I 
placed in Options Mail and News Preferences?  Thanks.

Gene
