texte = Mozzilla 7 is very nice. messenger in 7 beats 4.7 by a long shot. In 4.7, if one gets to about a 8,000 emails in a folder it becomes very sluggish. Not in mozilla 7. I have several mail folders that contain upwards to 18,000 messages and clicking between them is (for the most part) painless. Mozzilla's browser is nice also. (I like the optional skins you can download).4.7 lacks in specific ways... Most of which is CSS. Its too bad though because it was a lean and mean browser. If you had tried Netscape 6 and was discouraged, I don't blame you. Netscape 6 was a pile. However, 7 saved face. I still use 4.7 when I'm in the preX environment though (as I am right now).Just had to put my .02¢ in. Donovan Dennis J.
