Yes, you can lauch these apps from Netscape. It works very well, in fact.
The only problem with Netscape I have (except for it being a *huge*
hungry app) is that it doesn't seem to do catchups. (Isn't that the
feature where if only parts 2 and 3 of a 3 part posting is showing, it
will go get the first (missing) part to complete the thing?) I am very
happy with Netscape. I only wish it had the WYSIWYG editor for unix like
it does for Win95/NT. Perhaps someone knows of a suitable linux
equivalent....
