From 2d78cac9a728b66116829f8611ab493c08c5fe65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: eparker Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 21:53:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Adding a new reactor, for supporting Internet Explorer's kludge in not allowing .eml to be opened (and giving you no clues as to why it's not opening it, either. :P).
