DO NOT USE NETSCAPE 6 FOR EMAIL!
Trust me, you don't want to go there. The mail client is horribly slow,
crashes on a regular basis for no apparent reason, and is just generally
not even up to beta quality at this time -- all in my not-so-humble
opinion. I like the Netscape 6 browser (actually I like Mozilla M18
better), but I after trying in vain to use NS6's email client for two weeks
with some degree of stability (the slowness was something I was resigned to
dealing with), I gave up. Now I use kmail, which does most of what I want,
and I put up with the missing functions I would like to have, which I am
used to having with Eudora for Windows.
Apologies for the unwanted advice. I know this doesn't answer your actual
questions.
