Nope I ran Word Perfect for OS2 (I honestly don't remember what email  
package though). I love WP and have convinced myself to finally  
desert it as the handwriting is on the wall for WP for MAC. I know  
there is something called Sheep Saver out there but I have a basic  
fear that it will screw up MAC if i install it(despite hearing many  
success stories).
As for OS/2 I only switched to a MAC when IBM announced the final  
release.
