Hello All,

I hadn't previously seen this page on the Internet Explorer web site, so I'm
posting the link here if anyone is interested:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/preview/smarttags/default.asp

This page describes the Smart Tags feature in IE6.  I was especially
interested to read the following:

"To enable Smart Tags on the Web pages you visit, you must first choose
which Smart Tags you'd like to see. Internet Explorer does not come with any
Smart Tags installed. Smart Tag packages are available from Microsoft and
dozens of other companies."

Also, this page confirms that the meta tag to disable Smart Tags will be:

<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">

Apologies if you've all seen this before.  I thought it was interesting to
read what Microsoft have to say about things.

Tim
