> I've tried MR2Ice and ProNews/2, but they didn't grab me. Again: Mozilla, like Netscape, Opera, and Internet Explorer, is a BROWSER, and is offered as such (not as a universal Intenet viewer). The other functions are there for people who want all their Internet activity concentrated in a single application, or for those not "grabbed" by single-purpose applications. But they are secondary in the eyes of the suppliers and of most other people as well. Given that Mozilla is a browser, nobody should be surprised if most effort is devoted to making it a very good one, and less on mail and news reading. If, even so, you prefer to use it for everything else too, more power to you; but one needs to be aware of the primary focus of the application and accept the implications of it. > Stan Goodman wrote: > > > > On Mon, 24 Dec 2001 05:28:56, Alan Beagley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > opined: > > > > > The browser is faster in 0.9.7 than in NS 4.61, but news and mail are > > > slower. > > > > If so, that's a good tradeoff.
