To remove ms-tnef content (incidentally, it's microsoft's
html-in-email content-type, base64 encoded... blech!) you need to set
your preference to compose as plaintext... In your Outlook options go
to the "Mail format" tab and "send in this message format: plain
text". May the world be a better place...

What Paul said.

I think this is probably the best approach. When a netscape window
opens it should be titled something strange like: "Netscape: blah blah
blah blah". Try matching your resource/class string to match all
Netscape-related windows and set for handles, etc. Then follow that
style line with one that matches just the starting title of the window
and strip the handles, etc. Should work...
