	What I have found is that Mozilla is the under-lying engine for
the USER-INTERFACE that is Netscape.
	Thus, most of the defaults in Netscape 6+/7+ are the same under
Mozilla.

	I have returned to Netscape 4.8 for the reason you have outlined
above regarding the issues with email.
	PLUS, I have found that I now have the added advantage of NOT
being susceptible to the ActiveX and Java Script attacks inherent in the
newer versions???

	IMHO...
