I have been using Netscape Messenger for a few months now, and have been
pretty happy with it so far. There's a couple features of OE that I
miss, but NM doesn't crash on me twice a day.

Does anyone know why more people don't use NM? Is there some horrible
problem that's so obvious that no one's told me about it?

(As this is an already OT discussion, I think I can safely sneak this in..)

It requires you to have Netscape installed. ;)
