[imp] How does refreshing folder views affect session?

[Dan Wilson]

The behavior depends on the browser.  I've expirienced that with IE, the 
inital pop-up prohibits any further refreshing.  But with NS6, it just keeps 
adding more pop-up alerts and continues refreshing.

It was awhile back that I expirienced this behavior with NS, so I'm not 
positive if I was on Linux or Win32.
