Maybe that's perhaps there's very little progress to be had from converting to HTML? I can always convert my inbox with smart tools like http://crit.org/critmail

Funny, I use Netscape only for browsing, with JavaScript and Java turned off. Last time I activated it Netscape ate 250 MBytes worth of swap for no good reason at all.
