The program I put this in for was msn messenger 7.0, which requires ie 
6.0 to work. With this msn works fine, but this brings up a bigger question.

Should we require that people install Internet Explorer or should we put 
in patches that increase application compatibility with vanilla wine?

Personally I favor to put this patch in, and let people that want to 
install native internet explorer to change these strings through 
registry modifying. I feel that we shouldn't need to rely on something 
that needs a windows license in order for programs to work under wine.
