2nd the motion for Pegasus here. I run version 3.1 under W98SE although
there are later versions available. If set up right, it's relatively immune
from viruses but you still have to be careful, of course. Probably saved me
more than once. The user base is far too small to attract any attention
from the script kiddies. I have a virus sitting in my mailbox right now
which I want to look at more carefully when I have time. It can't do any
harm unless I do something dumb. Pegasus (this version) doesn't give you
anything fancy like Outlook, though. //Jack
