Just in case you use IE...

[AZ Pete]

When I use my Win98SE Box, I have been quite satified with:
Opera 6 
Forte Agent 1.8 NewsReader
Eudora 4.2 Email

What I like best about these Windows apps is that each of their
functionally closely resembles a Linux counterpart.
Opera 6 (beta) is available for Linux.
PAN looks and operates very much like Agent.
Kmail is very similar to Eudora (the configuration screens are
virtually identical)

Using this setup I can boot either OS and have virtually the same
applications in either environment.  
These apps are no more difficult for a newbie to learn than the MS
offerings.  Additionally, each of these apps offer far more
customization,features, and control than their MS counterparts.
Most importantly, I can avoid the MS security du jour issues.

Each of these apps offer a free version which may have limited
functionality, but may also suit your needs.

Hope this is helpful.
