This just tells me you don't understand what you're talking about.
I've looked at Mozilla and Netscape several times, most recently as
yesterday, there are problems with them. ...
... I haven't tried Gnus, that manyThis list is not only for professionals in any field. It seems that you are using a specialised computer system for your own professional requirements and expecting it to work well for your personal interests, including Hebrew. You would do much better to get a cheap general purpose computer and use that for e-mail unrelated to your professional specialisation. Go into any store, buy their oldest and cheapest Windows PC (as long as it has a modem), and you are there immediately - or use Linux if you prefer. (Well, you need Mozilla or Outlook rather than the default Outlook Express if you want to use IMAP.) Or ask the administration section of your university if they have any old PCs to give away (minimum Windows 98). Or probably you already have some kind of PC, as your VT-100 emulation must be on some platform. Would Mozilla or something similar run on that same platform?
be a possibility.
I think we need to distinquish between people with a professional interest
in Hebrew whom you could expect to customize their computer systems around
their professional needs and people who are merely Hebrew amateurs and
whose systems will be customized around some other personal or
professional need. If this list is to be for professionals only, then I
guess I should shut up and go away. But that's not a direction I would
like to see it take as I don't know anyone else who has any knowledge of
Hebrew. In the approximately 12 years I've been on the list it has been
invaluable in keeping my interest in Hebrew alive.
