Hiya L.D.!

Outlook Express is the email and news program included in the later
installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer.  Not to be confused with
the full Outlook program, it also is not as susceptible to some script
viruses, ie-VBS.LoveLetter.  I've used it, and it works quite nicely,
for MS!  In fact, it is a very good news group reader/posting app! 
However, it does take a bit of time to load on my 486DX4 100mHz w/24
meg RAM and WIN95, so most of the time for email I use FoxMail.  The
latest version, 5, did improve some of the load up time versus version
4.  In regards to viewing web pages, it is capable of viewing HTML mail,
therefore some caution should be excercised re: VB Script.  But again,
FoxMail can view HTML mail, so I have to be careful with it also.  If
you sent someone an email containing your web page's HTML, Outlook
Express (or FoxMail, or Arachne!!) would be able to display the page. 
OE would use the "defaults" assigned to Internet Explorer in regards to
background colors, layout, frames, etc., sort of like a mini-browser
window.
