Actually that does control this too it seems (I just tried it) however it's
unrealistic to believe that people would want to set their browsers this way
just so they can receive email. MS needs to create a separate setting for
this so it only affects the email client.

Thanks for pointing it out though, I suppose if I use Netscape as my browser
it could be a realistic solution.
