Ouch!  I guess I'm not using IMAP-SSL yet, so thanx for pointing
that out!  [ This "geezer" BS still uses POP3 tunneled over SSH ;-P

Yeah, I made the _mistake_ of trying to use the same config
directory for Mozilla Linux and Mozilla Windows.  UNIX paths and
Windows drive letters don't mix!  Yikes!  You'd figure they'd
address these issues.

Use Galeon 0.12.8 (from SourceForge) with Mozilla 0.9.5 (from
Ximian).  0.12.8 _rarely_ crashed on me, and I've now had 2 crashes
with the new Galeon 1.0.2 + Mozilla 0.9.7 setup.  The older version
is a tad slower, but not much.  In fact, I can't tell any
differences in Galeon features -- want to say Galeon 0.12.8 _should_
have been 1.0 (using Mozilla 0.9.5, instead of requiring 0.9.6 for
1.0 and 0.9.7 for 1.0.x).

P.S.  Don't use Ximian's Galeon 0.12.4 -- it _sux_!
