Well, I finally got the rpm for mozilla for my redhat 7.1 machine. Some people say to use it instead of netscape 6.2.
It installs ok, and does email, but: After about 45 minutes of use, it hung up, doing the consuming 90% or better system resources thing, which used to be so common with netscape 6.0 and 6.1 but which hasn't happened once so far with netscape 6.2. And, when I print the output to a file with mozilla, gv can read it but ps2ascii (simply a front end for ghostscript) fails to convert it to text. This doesn't sound like an issue, but, I like to send my friends articles from the WJS an NYTimes, both of which require registration so you can't just send the link. I have found that with mutt, when I try to just paste in an article from a newspaper, mutt frequently just hangs up, do no doubt to some odd sequence of bytes in a complicated html document. So, the solution has been to print the article to a queue which filters it through ps2asii. Works nicely. However, mozilla amazingly enuf, produces a very different postscript file than netscape 6.2, (Both are level 3 postscript) and for some reason ghostscript can't handle stripping out its text. I have no idea if this is do to differences between redhat (mozilla) and caldera (netscape) or what. So, I guess I'll keep using netscape 6.2 for now.
