Any thoughts of maintaining the Netscape stuff as separate "Communicator" and 
"Navigator" ports instead of either/or?

I'd really like Navigator to launch other mail and news clients from within 
the context of a www page too, but Netscape's unbundling Navigator is still a 
victory.  I've not been able to recommend Netscape4 to large customers as long 
as it had all the workgroup stuff.
