   You have many options, as many things are happening at Netscape these   
   days.  Fist of all, there will shortly be a Netscape 8.1.3 released with   
   security fixes. It installs into its own folder in Program files, so   
   there is no conflict at all with 7.2. It should solve your problem with   
   sites that do not display in NS 7.2's browser.   
      
   We are approaching a public beta release of Netscape 9. It is Firefox   
   based and cross platform.  It will also solve the problem of sites that   
   do not display in 7.2.   
      
   7.2 itself will be getting some security updates.  The Mail/News   
   component of 7.2 remains a very servicable client, you could simply   
   continue to use it for mail and news. Netsdcape is planning on   
   addressing mail/news needs, but I do not have specifics on that at this   
   time.   
      
   Firefox/Thunderbird remains a good option.  If you like the suite   
   approach, SeaMonkey is probably the best choice.  It will pick up your   
   7.2 profile, and, for many people, it you can just go on as though it   
   were an updated Netscape suite.
