it could be that u haven't a resolv.conf file with the dns ; but it coul be that is a
netscape bug .try to setup mail and news adresses while you're connected on internet ;
in netsc 3.01 gold it works!

it's not as simple as u think 'cause file in ms-dos or w95 partition has the ^M .so
the inbox in which u would like to append the mail and news is seen by linux with a
lots of ^M which give problem to nets.
on the other hand if u append to inbox-msdos some mail with netsc-linux u could have
problems with netsc-w95 while reading mail u get in linux .
i can suggest u to have 2 inbox one on linux and the other on fat 16 ... if u like to
see under linux inbox-msdos type from linux
tr -d '\015' < inbox-msdos >>/var/spool/mail/......your username usually root
that's a filter which read the inbox-msdos and copy it without ^M on to the mail of
linux ..
after that u can use pine mail , elm to see your inbox-msdos .
that's the only thought i can give u !!
