Hi Ralf, no I don't want to block any webmail. Kids need it for work. We 
ask all kids over grade 5 to have their own webmail address. That's why 
I needed this fix.

Doesn't work with konqueror either - seems to be a whitelist. MS in 
their typical naivety/arrogance assume that the only browsers are the 
ones they have heard of. Never mind that there are web standards and 
anyone should be able to write their own browser if they want to / can.

Anyway, I'm happy that it works just writing FF instead of IW, and that 
we don't have to fake the whole browser string and masquerade as yet 
another copy of IE on Vista to add to their stats.
