[Reloadevery] Microsoft Outlook Web Access

[Brad Pitcher]

Nice workaround.  :)  I like #2, I didn't think of that.  It works for 
reading messages but not for composing.  It gives me an idea though.  
I'll just have a separate tab for composing that doesn't have 
reloadevery enabled.
I agree, disabling/enabling reloadevery based on page content rather 
than address might prove to be a very daunting (if even possible) task.  
Anyway, I'm satisfied more or less with it the way it is.  Thanks for 
the workaround.  Thanks again for all your hard work Jaap! :)
