You have a weird wrapping issue with your mail in that client,
actually. I'm not sure it's wrapping to <78 characters. It looks pretty
jagged and chainsaw in my client. Just a note.

I prefer pine for mail, always have. Does everything I've ever
needed it to do, imap, pop, nntp, folders (local and remote), threading,
lists, filters, all kinds of goodies (and beats mutt, hands-down).
For a fast browser, I prefer dillo. It's 200k in size (would almost
fit on the Palm if it didn't require gtk), and is the most incredibly fast
thing I've ever used. For frames/https/etc. I use Mozilla 0.9.8 or later
snaposhots. Mozilla (on your platform) is much more standards-compliant and
supports more functions than IE, and with 0.9.8 and snapshots, loads and
renders much much faster than IE.

My beef is that Opera is not free. You're stuck with shareware, and
banner-ware. No thanks, I don't need those things in my browser, literally a
function away from targeted ads based on what I browse.
