Re: Hey Bill Huges
 

Internet Exploder is a bit more CSS and HTML compliant than Netscape 4.7
ever was, even if IE did then go on to add all sorts of "features" to
allow attackers to take total control of your computer without your
knowledge [oh, say as recently as this week]. No, I never used IE
except for cross-compatibility checking, I used Netscape and if the web
site wouldn't work, it had better have one really good reason I would
want to visit it.

To make a web page that would display even close to identical in both
Netscape 4.7 and IE you would have to do browser checking and cheat and
add "nudges" to all positioning elements on the page and also refrain
from using some very nice features such as odd point and pixel sizes for
fonts.

Plus Netscape 4.7 had a huge GDI resource leak and corruption on the
non-NT based operating systems...to the point that the mozilla folks
released a kewl GDI viewer tool to help debug it.

Mozilla 1.7.13 works as well or better than Netscape 4.7 ever did and
can view HTML mail as something resembling text for those who have such
a problem expressing themselves that they must use pictures, fonts, etc.
rather than simply learning how to write. It has the added advantage of
fully supporting *compliant* CSS and HTML, plus you can put a content
header on your pages to get a quirks mode that is reasonably close to
old 4.x Netscape.

Seamonkey suite is coming along, although I personally use the latest
builds off the alpha branch as being just a tad less buggy than their
released versions.
