While I do appreciate your desire to stay with whatever is comfortable for you (I do the same, I'm always the last to ugrade), I stronly feel you should stop using Nestcape and move to Safari and Mail. I just last weekend moved my 76 yr old mother from what exactly you are using to OSX. I was very worried about it, as was she, but she love it!
