Though to be fair, the recent couple of versions (Moz 0.93 and later) 
have shown that much more attention is being paid to the Mail/news 
components. As of Moz 0.95, it has improved dramatically. A few minor 
bugs remain, but they are definitely minor and I am now happily using 
Moz full time for both mail and news.

As for the original question from "Joe Camel", the number one reason for 
upgrading to NS 6.2 or Moz 0.95, is the ability to block popup ads. That 
alone gaurantees that I will only use NS 4.76 (I do still keep it 
around) for the occasional site or feature that still do not work 
correctly in Moz.

Also along this line, I also like Mozilla's ability to stop web sites 
from moving or resizing my browser window, something I find very annoying.

Other reasons for upgrading:
Another preference allows me to set a minimum font size. Very handy for 
us old guys with weak eyes.
Browser Tabs!!! You will quickly wonder how you lived without them. 
(only in Mozilla for now).
Multiple mail accounts/identities.

So I guess what I am saying is that you get lots of new features by 
upgrading. While there remain some minor bugs, none of them are 
bothersome to me.
