   I said that I use Netscape ->COMMUNICATOR<- for e-mail and usenet.   
      
   It seems to be that Communicator and Navigator are two completely   
   different animals.   
      
   So again I ask -> if there's a better e-mail and usenet client than   
   Netscape Communicator 4.79, please tell me.   
      
   I don't use Netscape Navigator 4.79 (haven't used it for about 5 or   
   more years) because it just plain doesn't work properly for most web   
   sites.

   Just out of curiosity, are there any known vulnerabilities for   
   Communicator 4.79?

   Are you saying that Communicator is not an app specifically designed   
   for one purpose - that being for e-mail and usenet messaging?

   I find Navigator 4.79's interface to be very fast and efficient.
