I missed the beginning of this thread, but I use Netscape v3.0 for mail and news. The Mail reader is primitive, but the next version will be more full featured (filters, etc). The functionality is not bad now: live URL links in all mail and news: just click and the web browser window goes into action. You can drag and drop a news article to a mail folder (hey - I suggested this one to them myself!). Plus, it's available for many different platforms and looks and works more or less the same on all. And, my interpretation of the license agreement is that you don't have to pay for it anymore unless you're required to use it to perform your job in a company. -- ...RickM...
