I've been using it for testing only at the moment, and when it gets a full release I may well consider transferring to it. However, I do use Mozilla for my browsing, so that could also be a contender once they get a spell checker working with it. You also have the advantage with all the Mozilla based lot that they use standard mbox mail files, so it makes it very easy to convert to other mail apps - such as Mail, Eudora, GnuMail and GyazMail. -- Andy Hewitt ** FAF#1, OSOS#5 - BMW K100RS 8v, Honda Concerto 16v Windows free zone (Mac G3) <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ahewitt/index.htm> (last update 12.02)
