Overexpose the photo by about one stop in most cases.

Showing my novice-ness here but...
How does that work?
Does the fog not just act like a massive reflector?

Fog is white (or light gray). It will naturally cause your camera to underexpose the photo... just like snow... a bright sandy beach... etc..

I think John is saying you should treat fog the same way you would a snow scene.
Brightly lit snow is a stop or so brighter than 18% gray, which is what your camera's meter expects to see. Therefore, when you meter a scene with a lot of snow (or fog) the meter simply exposes it as medium gray and the shot comes out underexposed.
To compensate for this you set your camera to overexpose the shot by a stop or two. How you do that depends on your camera. I believe the D50 has an exposure compensation button.
