Lotus RSS Notes Reader, now for R6.x

I have had reports that the News Reader java code was failing under Lotus Notes R6.x, but had not spent the time to figure it out why. However, I've just finished a email exchange (two words that really shouldn't go together) with a fine fellow (Thank you Brian!) who reports that :

There is some new agent security setting in R6.x (not sure which release). In 6.0 everything works. In 6.0.1 and
6.0.2cf2 and 6.5, your stuff fails. But if you change the security settings to "Mode 3" everything works. fine.
