I'm told it got a lot better with version 4.5.

Even that isn't necessary. My domain is obviously not US; nevertheless I
can download 128-bit Netscape or IE from either (a) the ftp site to which
there are links at the right of the main page of http://www.replay.com/ or
(b) ftp://ftp.hacktic.nl/pub/crypto/browsers/128bit/ I suspect that both
violate something or other in Youessandcanadian law; replay.com takes the
trouble to claim that this is not so, but the logic eludes me.

If you don't want to think that anyone has violated any law, don't want
MSIE, but do want the happy feeling of foiling the CIA and irritating Jesse
Helms and the like, you can download a legit, "international" version of
Netscape and then legally render its encryption 128-bit by downloading
software from http://www.fortify.net/
