hi ray
what you have described is not quirkiness at all, though it may all be new to you. it is norton's antivirus email protection settings. the netscape mail server setting you noted is exactly what norton creates on your machine. i have the same settings on mine.
you can disable email protection if you so desire. but what puzzles me is that i believe that the default condition is to have email protection disabled, meaning someone had to turn it on. how that could have happened without your knowledge, only you can answer. perhaps someone else uses your pc?
if you'd like to examine your nav settings, i can tell you that in the most current version, you can click the 'options' icon on the top of the main page, then nav, then email protection. email clients should appear, showing netscape messenger with a check mark in front of it.
if this exact clickstream does not work for you, it's probably because i am running nav as a component of norton systemworks2001, or because our versions differ. if that's the case, a little searching around for option settings within nav will reveal the email protection checkbox.
btw, do you keep your virus definitions current?
hope this helps
:)
