Emissary Additional Components Complement the Browser Forrest Stroud
Additional Components Complement the Browser
While the Web browser alone makes Emissary a viable download, there are several additional clients that are just as strong. The local and remote file management services are superb. Transferring, deleting, and updating files from different locations have never been easier, largely due to the efficient drag and drop interface.
Another client, the e-mail app, delivers multimedia mail in an efficient and extensive package -- sound clips, images, formatted text, and more can all be integrated into an e-mail message within Emissary. While the multimedia mail capabilities can only be best utilized when the receiving side is also using Emissary, both Internet Explorer Mail and Netscape Mail can now read and interpret most of the mail client's features.
The news reader offers some impressive features as well and is one of the faster news clients currently available. The extremely cool ability to automatically decode images from within Emissary, multiple sorting options, asynchronous processing, right-mouse button functionality, the ultra-awesome SpamDefense and Bozo protection features (kill list filtering and thread watch/ignore monitoring), and complex article searching are just a few of this client's strong features.
