    Just read your article in the ARRL RSS feed. I've tried tons of browsers (I'm a web master, so I like to check things out.) and in my opinion Firefox is by far the best. Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail client is really cool, too and it has an easy to use RSS reader built right into it. It can readily import your e mail files from Notlook, Eudora (what I used to use), ect.
