[pmmail-list] Ad blocking proxy hoses PMMail

[Gene Gough]

I have been using POW (freeware) available at 
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network.htm
to prevent most of the pupup dropdown add in the browser.  It a learning thing that you have to teach so 
your going to get every New add at least once.  BUT, it doesn't cause a problem in PMMAIL PRO on Win 
2K

Does anyone here have any ideas? I can't see anywhere in the PMMail setup screens to accomodate this 
sort of arrangement. PMMail runs fine if I quit the Ad blocker app.
