I'd concur, MacSoup is excellent, and also has a tolerable built in
email tool.

While we're discussing preferred internet apps, I've got a query. I'm
currently using IE 3 for web browsing, but it's irritatingly slow at
rendering <http://www.distributed.net/clients.html> which I'm visiting
fairly frequently ATM. I'm using a 7200/90, and it's spending maybe 10
seconds to process the HTML on the page, with the cursor a page with
text appearing on it, and nothing else happening, even with images
turned off.

Anyone got any suggestions for the fastest renderer out of Navigator 4,
Communicator 4, and IE3 or 4? I've heard Communicator is faster than
Navigator, but changing browsers is a pain with losing preferences etc,
so I'd like some opinions before I start fiddling
