Costs nothing! Installs easily. Keep your outlook (you have to use
it for other stuff) and MS worked it out so that Firefox couldn't be
used for MS updates.

Why use 2 products when 1 will do - Netscape 7.2? One app to install,
does email and newsgroups from the same screen and is Mozilla
internally, and is also free.
