Is it safe to assume that, since you're low on ram and you're using an old
browswer that the bulk of your online time is spent with e-mail? If so, I
would suggest (recommend?) that you switch to a dedicated e-mail
application, rather than using netscapes mail program. You'll find the
whole process (from uploading your mail to composing, to sending) faster
and more user-friendly... plus you eliminate that annoying no line break
crap that only ever seems to happen in browser email software. So... that
said, my personal recommendation for email dedicated software is Eudora
Lite and you can d'l it free, here:

ps: oh.. and it's a much smaller app than Netscape, so it will download
much faster for ya. :)
