I think any standards compliant browser should work for the website, oh, and IE.
We do want to implement an NNTP interface as well as an SMTP, for as much
content as possible.
My personal philosophy is that javascript can be used only to enhance, but
should never be required. Many options should be made available to the users,
but none should forced on them. I often use text based browsers, and as you
said, consider myself to be an "old fasioned soul".
The site (or any site, really) should lend itself to power-users as well as to
newbies. If you want to customize the way the site works for them, they should
be able to. If someone doesn't want to bother with it, the site should have
some intelligent defaults.
