Suggestions?

Is there a place to send suggestions for future versions of IE? I use I.E.
7 (windows XPpro) and would like to see a work offline button or a break
internet connection button on the command bar.

I recently googled the header of an email that I had received and suspected
of carrying something I didn't want and when I clicked the google link I was
attacked by a trojan. My antivirus caught it but if I'd had a button
available like that I would have been able to cut off the access to the
internet much faster.
I do know that there is a workoffline selection available but as far as I
know you can't put that in the command bar.

Why do you need a button when you have a keyboard shortcut? => ALT+F+W

That's three steps - one to recall the shortcut, one to figure out where the
dang keys are and one to click them ... I have very old slow fingers... not
to mention brains that are short on memory PA Bear... An icon on the
command bar would be faster and easier.

Since you use OE if you really want to cut off "access to the internet"
you could use _its_ Working Offline icon. E.g. doubleclick on it
and then reply Yes to the "Hangup now?" prompt (which I still get
even though I'm using DSL and not dial-up because of the PPPoE
connection.)


BTW since there is already a beta test of IE8 underway,
suggestions for it may be made in the IE Beta NG.
(for OE users: Ctrl-w, c.i er. be )

Yes, I know I could do that too Robert, but then I'd have to have OE open or
open it.. another two steps when my nerves are jangling...
Thanks so much for replying... I think I'll try the IE 8 beta group ---- if
I can find it.

So, what does a 40tude user use for a pattern for selecting that NG? <EG>
