Just install Internet Explorer 4 or 5 (which Microsoft has also made hard to find, so use your Mac OS install disc), and you’ll have them.

I used it to manage several email lists in the past. Because it runs a Mac Plus, you won’t need a lot of power to do this. I recommend running it on a separate computer from your mail server, since bad subscriber commands can occasionally lock it up. Macjordomo (Leuca) is a remarkably easy to use mail list manager. iCab 3.0 requires Mac OS 8.5 through 9.2.2. The PowerPC version supports OS 7.6.1 through 9.2.2.
