When replying to or composing an email, I get the following: The first says " unable to initialize applet". You click OK then get the second which says " unable to set HTML message". click OK on that one , then get the third which says " javascript error.

I was running Firefox 4, so I thought that was the problem so I then downloaded 3.6. It didn't help.

I then downloaded latest Java plug in. Didn't solve it.


Any suggestions?
