Hi,
does anyone know a source for Mozilla Version 1.3 for Woody? Apt-get.org
does not seem to list any and I am really looking forward to the new
functionality.

Nah - I've been running both the Debian maintained and the Mozilla.org
versions since the mid-Milestone days, against the same .mozilla, and
have seen no hiccups, although I don't use it for email, but by 1.3, it
should be generally okay there.
As to plugins, that is something that does need to be re-installed. Copy
your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins files to /opt/mozilla/plugins (except for
the javaplugin.so - that needs to be a symbolic link instead) and start
up /opt/mozilla/mozilla, and all should be fine.
I don't use Mozilla for email, just browsing. This is my strategy too. I
can run /usr/bin/mozilla(1.0) or /usr/local/bin/mozilla(1.3) just fine.
_but_ I cannot get the java plugin to work.
I'm running Sun's Java package and Mozilla 1.3 talkback from Mozilla.org.
I've symlinked
/usr/local/mozilla/plugin/libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
The info at plugindoc.mozdev.org says these should work together (both
compiled with gcc-2.95xxx).
When I compile a trivial applet (straight from Bruce Eckel's Thinking In
Java) that works fine with Appletviewer, Mozilla gives me an error
saying that the plugin for "application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1"
needs to be installed, Mozilla's about:plugins window lists it and shows
it as being Enabled. (And yes, Edit>Advanced>Enable Java is checked.)
