I have used evey version of Netscape since 3.0 in Linux. I have never
had a mail error due to it. I use the 4.7 final package from
Mandrakesoft for all my RH based WS's. Some versions are a little buggy,
and the version for Red Hat 6.1 is flakey to say the least. If it bugged
out during a message trasnfer, I guess it could loose a piece of mail,
but usually the files are never removed from a server until the remote
has sent a confirmation of reciept.
