Let me be the first then :-)

Seriously, netscape is barely useful in its real role as a web
browser and is completely unsuited to taking on other tasks on
top of that.  Why "struggle" with it when Unix systems have a
plethora of *good* mail user agents, all of which allow you to
use the editor of your choice to do the serious part of the job
while providing a range of configurable options to control the
way the mail is handled.

Sure, you have to learn how to use these things, but that's true
of anything that's worth using.  And you already know how to use
your editor, so that frees you from learning that part.
