Robert;

    Normally I keep most programs on my Newtojn frozen too maximize heap.
However, maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see the point in
unfreezing one browser (Newtscapage) in order to use another (NewHopper).
That just doesn't make sense to me. But, then again, I don't see the point
in unfreezing a browser in order to use a JPEG plugin for SimpleMail.

    I think that what's needed is a standalone extension that can be used
with SimpleMail to display JPEGs. I also think the Newton needs a better web
browser. Damn, I wish I could program...
