Thanks.  Nice work.  You might also consider putting patches (unified
diff) on that page.

Also, reading http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IEsContentAdvisorPICSRatingsAndTheASPNETFlakeyOfTheDay.aspx
I would just suggest that people who have this problem and want a
simpler solution might first try *removing* SquirrelMail's index.php
and see if that helps, since part of the problem might be that when IE
asks for index.php, SquirrelMail redirects to login.php, which in turn
ends the user's session.  An alternative might be to make index.php
redirect to webmail.php instead of login.php.
