Well, to start with, Mozilla and Netsacape are both available for
Linux...And if you don't want to install all of mozilla, They have
seperated out the browser and mail components now. Check out

I'm stuck away from my computer at the moment, so I can't install and
check, but I belive I'd used that feature in either CronosII or sylpheed.

Lately I use mutt or SquirrelMail (web based) more than anything, but I
had always thought that was a pretty standard option. Maybe because I
spent so many years using Netscape.
