Not necessarily.  I expect most (all?) BL1 programs will
work on BL3.  That means old PCs should be able to run BL3 
with Netscape 3.04.

You will have a choice.

xli.  It does GIF, JPEG, PCX, BMP, macPAINT, G3FAX, PhotoCD 
and some others.

rxvt

Parallel, serial, NIC, anything that will take a TCP/IP
network.

I'm planning on using the POP/SMTP client (pmail) from BL2, 
but I will probably ditch the mailreader (mailz).  I was 
hoping to find a nice/small GUI mailreader, but so far no 
luck.

I don't know.  You could try booting BL1 with the BL2 kernel
and you would get a pretty good idea.
