Actually, the idea was to get a 'free as in beer' client that handles 
threading correctly in the headers of the email. (Eudora doesn't put in the 
header content that allows other email clients to thread.) I hated pegasus 
after the 30 minutes it took me to get it set up and downloading my email. 
I like Eudora, but it does lack features that I think are nice to have.

However, now that i have my bandwidth back again, I can run the Mozilla 
installer. I will never understand the need NOT to give the user everything 
they need to install a program when they download it. I hate installers 
that download the content of the program.
