Have you tried Netscape 4.x? I've been using it for five years now, got my first legitimately free browser the day they announced free distribution. I use NS 7.x for browsing, but I wouldn't touch it for mail, given the IM virus that come inextricably with these versions of the mailer. In all the time I have used it, no virus has ever successfully invaded my machine other than through my own imprudent action in clicking on executtables of unknown origin. Sometimes newer and more feature-rich is anything but better. That application, by default, also begins replies placing the cursor above the quoted text, but it provides options of posting after and selecting. My current option is selecting the entire quoted text. The message window also has a srollbar, so moving to any desired spot in the message is also easy.
