I'm using an Apache redirect in an .htaccess file (no root access to the
main httpd.conf file). 
	Redirect /index.html http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/index.html
The user (my aunt) reports that "The application
Netscape Communicator has unexpectedly quit, because  an error of type 3 
occurred." She's really very non-technical and we don't email a lot so I'm
a little uncomfortable following up. I couldn't think of *any* reason why
the redirect wouldn't work though.

thanks :)
