I've been getting very frustrated with the Linux version of Netscape 6.1. The Messenger part of it seems extremely buggy, particularly with respect to keyboard operations. A couple of examples (there are many more):
- You can't view full headers. Changing the view option has no effect.
- You can't delete a freshly opened message with the Del key -- but if you delete it with Alt-E/D, you can delete subsequent messages with the Del key.
- If you try to move a message from the Inbox to a folder, the list of folders that shows up is unsorted.
Is anyone else around here using Messenger in Netscape 6.1? What have your experiences been?
I'm considering Kmail and Mozilla as alternatives, and also considering reverting to Netscape 4.77, which has its own problems.
- Does Kmail provide the ability to view HTML and to activate links contained in email messages? Is it easy, or even possible, to convert Netscape mail archives to Kmail?
- Does Mozilla have the ability to handle Web sites for commercial transactions (banks, etc.)?
What other alternatives are there?

Paul, It is my experience that Netscape 6.x is nothing but a rehashed and out of date Mozilla. My advice is to try both KMail and Mozilla, and see which one you like the best.
