Nothing but the latest and greatest eh, Pete ?
I wouldn't touch NS4+ with a ten foot pole. <g>
NS3 is noticeably slower (about 50%) than NS2.
I only suggested 3.04 to make sure you got the JS crap you need.
Of COURSE they've got an email client. It's Netscape.
I use NS2.02 for 95% of my mail.
They BOTH have JS too. But with NS2.02, it's best to turn it off.
NS2.02 - 26 files 1.83 Mb total - including my bookmarks and addresses.
NS3.04 - 31 files 3.525Mb total - as above.
I never need to run NS2.02 on a ramdisk on my 33Mhz '486.
When I said Arachne was about the same speed as NS, I meant Arachne
on RD, NS2.02 on HD - same box. <G>
p.s. I understand IE4 doesn't recognize :(( wants  
Most pages are written for NS. Try going to:

with IE.
