Hey there, people.

I have a computer running Windows 98 (first edition). I used to installed
ZoneAlarm on that computer, but unfortunately, it can't install because it
has too many errors during the installation. The reason that I'm finding an
alternative to ZoneAlarm is that it constantly have errors whether I install
and/or update the version of ZoneAlarm. most of all I suffered from I/O
errors from the installation. And very worse, this error occurs after I
pressed retry to the I/O error: "VSMONAPI.DLL linked to the missing export
VSUTIL.DLL:Useglobal Namespace". and this one , the error to this:
"C:\Windows\System\Zone Labs\VSMON.EXE...." I don't know what the rest is,
since that has happened.

Can anyone name me what are the alternatives to ZoneAlarm is?

If you have any suggestions, please do not hesistate to do so. Thank you.

Darrien, could you please post your messages in plain text and not
html? See here for info: http://www.bootdisk.com/html.htm

??? I didn't get any html crud at all in Darrien's post -- which is
understandable, as he was posting with XNews (which doesn't do html).

I suspect it is the "X-Face:" line, it seems to make messages appear to
be in HTML in Moz 1.3.1, that is, it increases to size of the typeface
used for display for that message. So I reckon you are both right.

Cheers,

Ah: that would indeed explain it -- thanks.

That's bizarre. No such behavior in 1.1 or 1.4 - or the pre 1.0 betas I
how the heck can an X-Face header do that?

How does an X-Face header explain it?[/QUOTE]

I meant that assuming the behaviour of Mozilla is as described in the
post -- something I have to take on faith, since I don't use Mozilla --
that would explain why someone might think they were seeing html in a
post which was not sent in html.

If Mozilla *doesn't* do that, then you're right: it doesn't explain
it. But if it does, it does explain it.
 
How does an X-Face header explain it?

The header contains both a `@' and a `.' further along. My guess is that's
enough to fool some "HTML-capable newsreaders" (now there's an oxymoron for
you).

That's the beauty of X-Face strings: you never know what they're going to
contain. Forrest would love them.

In OE the font in the message pane header is non-standard,
I suspect the following header might have caused the confusion?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp"

An honest, no-agenda-at-all question from a non-Mozilla user: Does
Mozilla post and receive news in html?

If it does, I'm a bit disappointed: I think I'd have expected it to be
more chaste and proper than that.

So do other headers. And they don't make news clients burst out in HTML
song, far's I know.

Through user error (read: enabling it), yes.

There's no accounting for OE. ;)

That's the only unusual one I saw; I wondered about that, too. Seem
more likely a culprit than the X-Face header.

How can they both be right? They both made opposite statements.
Either I posted in HTML or I did not.

Does Mozilla use a different font to display East Asian character sets?
If so, that's what I would check. If it's using a different font, it's
probably using a different font size too.

As a test, I am not including my X-Face in this post. Please let me know if
you get the same results.
