Re: [Handle-info] Handle plug-in for Adobe Acrobat and Reader

John,
I cannot actually comment as to why your IE proxy settings didn't work 
with the plug-in. Please feel free to let us know if you found anything 
special about the settings that made it not work.
Here goes the famous saying .... It works for us with the IE proxy 
settings behind a firewall.

As far as adding options for internet settings in the plug-in, we will 
add it to our task list - but cannot guarantee that in the immediate 
release.

Thanks for your feedback!
