Subject: Shhh: CalTrans is Secretly Part of the Bike Coalition From: Biker-X <bikerx@netwiz.net> Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 14:47:18 -0800 PS: Netscape users' tip of the year. Hate those Netscape advertisements that appear in your email pane every time you open Netscape messenger? Close all Netscape windows, find the file prafs.js in your Netscape directory, and save a backup copy under another name. Edit the file "prefs.js" in a text editor. Add the line: user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", false); and save the file. Voila! No more ads for Netscape Mastercards. Alternatively, you can display your favorite web page on startup by using the following example. Instead of above, edit the file to read: user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", true); user_pref("mailnews.start_page.url", "http://www.sfbike.org/"); or user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", true); ===
