Try increasing Netscape's memory allocation. Quit out of Netscape. Click once on Netscape to highlight the Netscape application in the finder.
Select "Get Info" under the File pulldown menu (top, left of screen). The File Info window has a Memory Requirements box. Increase the Preferred Memory (just type in a larger amount). The more plug-ins you have running, the more you may need to increae Netscape's RAM allocation.
To read your attachments: Open it up in BBEdit. BBEdit Lite can be downloaded at www.shareware.com, www.downloads.com, www.tucows.com, or almost any shareware archive.
You can probably also open the files in ClarisWorks, but BBEdit is much faster and will open large files.
