ie6 and outlook to Joachim

[David Harel]

Hello Joachim,

I send this message to you hoping that you, as an expert regarding IE on 
Wine can help me. After we get conclusions I will post them to the group.
I installed IE6 on wine and after much  struggle I got to have IE 
starting but then it freezes on the attempt to install on demand  some 
fonts.
The thing  is that IE6, after installation, goes directly to msn.com and 
then, I think using the origin IP, it switches you, without anything you 
can do, to msn site on your own country, in my case, Israel. Then on the 
local msn site IE6 needs fonts to show the local content and then, when 
the font download popup is displayed, IE6 hangs.

After many attempts, I could stop the access to the msn site and tried 
the f#@&!^& sites I have to use and that work only on IE.  Can you 
please check if those sites work for you?

   1. My bank site:
      http://www.discountbank.net/cgi-bin/inetcgi/discount/front/eng_pre_login.jsp
      and in it hit the  "enter your account" image which runs
      JavaScript. (If you do that in Mozilla it will show you a page in
      Hebrew but all it says is that you must use IE to use their site).
