The way I get around this is to change the default app in Netscape to
Mail under Options>General Preferences>On Startup Launch. If you are
like me, when you log into your ISP, the first thing you do is check you
mail. Ok, even when you lauch Mail, it will try to connect but all you
have to do is hit <Cancel> in the password wdw, or if you password is
saved, click Stop on the toolbar.
Hope this helps.
