1. I don't use procmail.
2. A lot of the time I don't have X running (I don't now), so it would be
rather difficult for netscape to start.
3. If I did, netscape takes a while to start up, and hogs memory
4. If I want to read some fancy formatted HTML shit, I'll look at the web.
That's not what email is for.
