Quick Tip:
I was having problems with netscape not handling the address book
entries correctly. It either hang or crashed.

After searching the usenet postings there was an entry regarding entries
in two files in .netscape( liprefs.js and preferences.js ).

The offending entries contain something like: "
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.locale", "en_US"); "

Fixing the problem is simple:
  1) Stop ALL netscape programs
  2) Edit the two files and simply remove the entries.
  3) Restart netscape and enjoy using the address book again.

Due to popular request I have turned off my s-mime signatures.
After preaching about waste of bandwidth, I was informed by various
people that they considered this to be a WOB.
My apologies.
