You pretty much need a browser these days, though, so that you
can read the text/html mail that the spammers send...
(Well, at least the folks at my office (or perhaps MS) have
realised that the old "Use Word to edit mail", and therefore
have all mail arrive as Word documents, isn't such a good
idea...) I haven't been seeing too many MS-TENF attachments
lately either. Praise!

Galeon and Konquerer seem to be shaping up to be that. Haven't
used Konq myself, but do keep an eye on Galeon.
Really, I doubt that it's the mailer/newsreader stuff that makes
Mozilla slow. It's that the entire UI (buttons, frames, panes
and all) is implemented in DHTML, aka JavaScript... Galeon
replaces that crap with compiled GTK, and it's reasonably
snappy.
