Yes, nt4 and netscrape v4.8. No, I've looked at Mozilla, and -- nice as
it is -- its nested mbox configuration still risks corruption of too
much mail and offers nothing to me for remote mail perusal. I like it
more than my current netscrape; but, it is not enough of a change to be
warranted. Please, review the details in my response to Vineet.

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
