will say for Netscape is that it doesn't seem to mind co-existing with
Outlook '98 as much, it also doesn't force me to send e-mail using
Outlook '98 like Outlook Express does [of course I could also look for a

supported per message notation which is a great feature of PM - I can write
myself notes against each message to remind me what I did in the way of
followups.
