Netscape 3 betas

I'd like to commend Jeff and Phil, and any other members of the
netscape team who are here, for the strong list of security controls
available in Atlas (beta 2)

They include control of caching SSL protected docs, alerts before
showing a cookie or submitting a form via email, control over email
address as ftp password, and, best of all, Java and JavaScript come
turned off by default.

Nice work!

(I'll also offer a pet peeve, which is I can't refuse to accept server
pushes, and the stop button doesn't really seem to affect them.  I
should be able to prevent keep-alive if I don't want it.)

  One minor correction.  Java and JavaScript are Enabled by default.
Note that the sense of the options changed from "Disable Java" to
"Enable Java".

  Thanks.

  Its possible that you could configure a null helper app for the
multipart/x-mixed-replace content-type, but I've not tried it, and have
no idea if it will work.
