Ah, but when I tried that, I could no longer use Evolution to connect to
my _secure_ IMAP server (SSL).  Evolution doesn't like Mozilla's SSL
libraries (and vice versa).

My solution is to use Netscape 6.21 instead of Mozilla.  Side note:
Netscape 6.x and Mozilla seem to both use $HOME/.mozilla as their
configuration directory, and I've had numerous problems switching back
and forth between the two.  The screw each other up quite nicely!  :-)

What I would really like is Evolution as my email client, and a fast
stable browser.  I was hoping to use the Evolution / Galeon combination,
but alas, Galeon also needs mozilla-psm-0.9.7-0.i386.rpm for SSL.  :-(
