I just finally came to the conclusion that when you hack your browser that for some reason the pic mail site and cookies just dont get along at all! I think i tried it all...i even did a hard reset then the IE6 hack before ever going to the pic mail site just to see if it was sending the cookie maybe in a different type???? Still didnt work,so now i'm stuck to decide which is more important......pic mail retrieval from my 6700 or the "updated" browser function!
