Version 7 does mail, so does 8.  They are up to 9 now.

Not so good.  Use lynx or opera.  I set lynx up with links (graphical and 
text-only) as a downloader to view sites that need tables.  Is there a way 
to use lynx as a downloader (external program) in links?

I set both lynx and links to use mplayer on streaming audio, and zgv as 
viewer (or xli in X).  Links is set to use pmail at mailto:, could not 
figure out lynx.

See fastmail.fm  No need to download, probably faster if you use dialup.
gmail  yahoo mail  pobox.sk  Search on 'free mail'.  ISPs also offer it. 
No viruses.

POP mail

Send $1 to sdf.lonestar.org to read mail with mutt or pine and reply 
online, or use webmail (slow).
