Bernard - Don't type view. Just go the list of items at the top of your screen and click on view. You'll get a drop down menu and one of the items will be wrap long lines - just click on it. This works fine for viewing but you'll still have a problem with printing. Netscape tells me Communicator 4.0 should resolve the problem, but I haven't been able to get it to work on my system - some kind of compatibility problem with my video driver. Internet Explorer will fix the problem, but I have a problem with the fact that there's no way to open folders for your bookmarks, just one huge long list. I worked around the printing problem by downloading Navigator Gold 3.03 which has an edit function. If you want to print one of the messages just click on file, click on save as, exit mail, click on file on your browser, click on open file in browser, select the file, edit all the headers and whatever else you don't want, and print from there. It's a pain but it works.

I had the same problem with two of my older Contax bodies. Whatever matetial they're using for these gaskets really stinks. I sent the cameras back to Contax and was quoted a flat repair charge of $150.00 each to "bring them back to factory specs." Since they were fine except for the gaskets I had them sent back. I contacted the parts department and got replacement gaskets for both for under $10.00. It was a project getting the gunk out of the grooves (the parts department recommended alcohol as a solvent, but it's slow work with a q-tip and a wooden toothpick to scrape it out). Some of the replacement gaskets were self-stick and some were not. The parts department recommended using rubber cement as something like super-glue would dissolve the gaskets (and probably make them impossible to remove if it needed to be done again). I'd contact the parts department of the manufactuere to see if they have pre-cut gasket replacements available. If not, you can obtain the gasket material from Fargo Enterprises (www.fargo-ent.com), a great source for all kinds of camera repair supplies. It's not a terribly difficult job to replace them, but it's kind of time consuming cleaning out all the gunk. From my own experience, do it or get it done as that gunk can start getting into the workings of the camera.

I had it all over the bottom of my ground glass and on my mirror.
