I do use Mozilla Thunderbird for email because it handles multiple

Why not try Opera 8. It's free, very fast and stable browser. It don't crash

Maybe 'cuz "Thunderbird" is a dedicated e-mail client, and does e-mail *ONLY*.
It doesn't pretend to be anything else.

Some people prefer single-function applications.

Opera _is_ a *good* web-browser. But you have to pay money to get the version
*without* the intrusive advertising.

On a par with Firefox (from the Mozilla people).


For e-mail -- especially for virtually 'no-risk' handling of incoming mail,
"The Bat!", although a for-pay program, is *very* difficult to beat. It is
about the only program (I don't -know- of any others, but there may be some)
where you can tell it to _completely_ ignore any/all HTML in a message. *OR*
to ignore links and references while allowing HTML formatting to occur. And
it _won't_ pull in anything that isn't already part of the message. "web bugs",
and such, just "don't work" when mail is read with "The Bat!".


If I had to be reading mail on a PC, I'd be using it, myself. Since I read
all my mail on a UNIX box, my situation is different. The Bat! is the only
thing I recommend to my clients, however.
