Speaking about <subj.> in conjunction with:
Opera = I have no idea
Netscape Navigator 4.08 (browser alone version) + NsProto = works fine.
The only limitations (bugs ?) are that mentioned on NsProto's web page
IE4 ? I cannot remember (I'm using IE extremely rare)
IE5 = works fine, I tested these days since the present listserv thread

What's the problem ? Could you be more precise ?

I think a simpler work-around would be to use Outlook Express instead
(just for handling mailto tags purpose). You have to do nothing ...
just use Win9x default settings and let OE be the default mailer.

Best wishes,
