Reproduced, 0.9.9/Win98; but the site is using:
<a target=right_frame href="screens.html"><a>GEAR in Action</a>
(That's some, erm, interesting HTML, right there...)

Changing QA contact

To parser, but this would be good as evangelism too... :)

This is definitely evangelism. When we see the inner <a> we close out the out
<a> since anchors cannot nest.

Is this really African? fuse.net is an American provider.

Unfortunately, I have NO WAY of contacting this person.  If I can get in contact
with them, I'll post contact info here.

Peace....

Google makes all computing simple. http://www.google.com/search?q=ill-plex+mail

[e-mail], which makes perfect sense. Feel free to contact him if you
think it's worth the effort.

Thanks.... I've just sent him e-mail.  If he decides to fix his page, I'll
request this bug report be closed out.

If he chooses NOT to fix his HTML, you guys can decide how you want to handle this.

Thanks again for your feedback and help!

Peace.....

Well, I've heard back for the owner of this site.  He's asking if he should
change his HTML (and how).  Should he go ahead and fix his site or leave it
alone so this will be a future "test case"?  

Or would it be prudent to simply save his main page locally and attach it to
this bug report to provide a test case?

Thanks....
