I'm currently doing just that so that I can still use Pegasus which
despite its... oddities... is still better than Outlook. I'm still
playing with Mutt but so far I have to say I prefer Peggy, I plan to
see whether I can get it running under Wine somehow.

Yeah, but then so is piping your mail to the console :-) Actually I
/do/ quite like Mutt, I just /prefer/ Pegasus.

One word: Opera.
I've only tried it on Win32 so far, but it was the best browser I've
used. Keep Mozilla, IE, Lynx, I'll take Opera. At least, I'd take v3,
but I didn't like v4 as it started to feel bloated... Hmm, I notice
they even do .debs :-)
