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...
