Warren,

	Unfortunately, I need the "Open Unrequested Windows" to use the webmail 
server from my work.   It is an undesireable feature that the Outlook server 
requires.  I agree that some of the more arcane things going on tend to screw 
things up, but honestly, this is the first trouble I've had with the 
junkbuster since I started using it about two years ago.  It just seemed odd 
that this is the only cookie transaction that didn't work.   I'll check the 
junkbuster site and see if they are aware of this.

Thanks,

Ben
