Netscape handles it well. When I get email with html or a hyperlink that I
want to check out, I forward it to a special username. I have netscape set
up to retrieve it using pop3 and then I can read it or click on the
hyperlink to launch the browser. I use pop3 rather than movemail because I
am running X and netscape as paulwade and I don't want netscape to touch
my regular email setup at all. I normally use pine, procmail, fetchmail,
and some ugly perl5 I wrote for mail. Everything is non-graphical so I can
telnet from any box on my network. Right now I am at a 4mb 386-40 with a
little mono VGA display. I'm glad I set it up this way because a nice big
new color monitor died this week and I don't have to steal my wife's to
get my work done.
