(Please correct Mozilla component if necessary)

We are running Netscape email servers (version 4.15, patch 4).  When using
Netscape 4.7X, you can access your email account info from Server Toools/Mail
Account in the Communicator menu of the mail client.  With  NS4 and IE, you can
access the same page by loading http://mailsrv1.mitre.org:1447/ (from within our
firewall)(mailsrv1 is my POP/IMAP mail server), clicking on the "Account
Information" link, and entering your credentials.

With Mozilla, once you enter your credentials, the Account Info page fails to
load.  "View source" in IE shows JavaScript (see attached), so I assume that
interpreting it is the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load http://mailsrv1.mitre.org:1447/
2.Click on "Account Information"
3.Enter credentials


Actual Results:  
Mozilla attempts to load page, but fails.  The "Netscape Server Account" title
appears, but the page remains blank.  However, Mozilla never seems to give up
trying (the Throbber throbs, and I never get an error)

Expected Results:  
Displayed the Account Information page
