If you are responding to someone asking for help who
may not be a member of this list, be sure to use the
REPLY TO ALL feature of your email program.
=====================================================

You should be able to fix this problem permanently by clicking:
Edit>Preferences>Navigator then adjusting the "Pages in History expire
after"
value to something reasonable. Mine is set at 10 days, and my history file
is about 750K.
I have not had the problem Shreidan describes after making this change.
You can also click the Clear History button on this screen.
