I know I stopped using Netscape for that reason. I used Pegasus for a long time but I've since switched to Sylpheed (http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/win32/) It's a Win32 port of the lightweight GTK-based mail client. The nice thing is that Sylpheed (or the bleeding-edge Sylpheed-claws) supports all the platforms I use regularly (Linux & Win32), it stores mail in mh/Maildir folders rather than monolithic mbox format or stupid proprietary formats, it's flexible and extensible, and you have to go to extreme lengths to make it display HTML (this is considered a major advantage by most Sylpheed users; you don't have to worry about vulnerabilities in some other vendor's HTML rendering libraries.) As a bonus, Sylpheed-claws can be aimed at a spamd server (if you are running spamd on anything but localhost) and you get all the advantages of SpamAssassin with minimal configuration and hassle. It's free and worth checking out. -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
