[thelist] Lotus Notes browser and ASP sessions

[Chris Blessing]

I completely agree with the below assessment.  BTW, if they're using Notes
5, you can configure the browser under:

File > Preferences > Location Preferences > Internet Browser

Notes is quite possibly the sorriest excuse for collaboration software I've
ever used.  I hate it.
