[thelist] IE 404 message?

[Daniel J. Cody]

Sam -

Jumping into the middle of this thread, so I don't know if this has been 
mentioned.. Make sure your 404 page is larger than .5K

The default IE 404 page will show if its under .5 and it *should* show 
any 404 page witha  file size larger than that :)
