Agreed. IMHO, Alexander would do far better to work on the thing which does
prevent me entirely from viewing many of the pages I would like to see -
i.e., the pages which require passwords. I can't view these with CAB, I
gather because CAB doesn't support "cookies" which these pages need in order
for the server to verify that I am entitled to view them.

I'm not talking about dirty pictures, btw - I'm talking about things like
the Encyclopaedia Britannica Online; the FT's free service; the Yearling TV
listing service; and an online creativity workshop which I'd *love* to take
part in but can't, because of this missing feature. Frames, I can live
without.
 
Any chance of this being added in v2? (When is v2 due, anyway?)
