Addendum:  The 2nd Question.

   More of a NS/Moz question:

  How do you make the Message Filters portable.  As I use the computer 
of the week, I have to set up the message filters again and again.  I do 
have a presistant home directory on the server, and have any type of 
server backend/db (like ldap) that I could possible need/want.  How can 
I set it up, so when NS/Moz finds the IMAP server, it can find my 
message filters too?  Is this a good application for setting up a 
roaming user? (even thought it is all on the LAN).  How-to?

Lost in Tokyo,
  Keith
