I became a happy Netscape user long before it had

AOL (don't remember if it was V2.x or V3.x), and before I switch to M$,
they must either brainwash or force me, or they must learn how to write
programs (not just GUIs!).

I started with Netscape V4.03 (what I am using right now) about
4 years ago. It is a bit outdated, but has a few features.
What adjustment is it that you are looking for in
Netscape? - Maybe I
can give you a hint? Selecting either HTML or plain text as the mail
format is really easy, and if you try to forward HTML-formatted mail to
recipients who prefer text-only, you can even _opt_ to be asked before
sending. Is that "unconfigurable"? ;-)
When I upgrade to a newer system (hopefully within a week or two),
I will be using Netscape V4.78 - how do you turn off automatic
advertising downloads? When I bring up Netscape Mail for the first
time during any session, before I can click on a given e-mail in the
InBox, the adds start all by themselves - can that be configured as
well - to be OFF?
Also, I have many old e-mails saved and posts from news groups.
Can those be easily saved and moved to my "newer" system?
Right now, when I move to the newer system and upgrade to
V4.78, I have tested what needs to be done. I just have to
move all the files in the MAIL directory over to the MAIL
directory in the new system - trivial - I hope!!!!
