Other than a nice PIM (Personal Information Manager) in Contacts, if you are
just using the Internet Mail Only option, I say no. I find OE faster and
less clunky in reading mail full screen, especially html mail. And Word
Mail, if you have Office 97, doesn't do it for me either, except to increase
the resource load and slow it down.

Cordially,
