If anybody cares, I use kmail for myrealbox mail, most of which is
spam.  kmail is nice enough to offer filter-before-download capability,
always a good thing to have.  Since it's my public address, I use it
when I'm pretty sure that I'll get spam along with whatever it is I
want.  That's life.  I have a frogshit address that I used to use and
which gets huge amounts of spam even though I haven't actually used that
address to post with for a couple of years.

No it's not.  I think Mozilla 1.x works the same way.  I'm not willing
to do a new install just to check :-(  Sensible people check ALL the
configuration possibilities before they connect.

I like the 4.x interface because I can select ALL the fonts and window
sizes and most of the colors to be the way I want.  Moz just doesn't
behave right sometimes, especially with regard to a lot of newsgroups in
a lot of different newsfeeds.  

I've checked, honest.  I know what I like.  I like Moz for browsing and
NS for mail/news.  Did you ever use Mosaic?  I did.
