As of mozilla 0.9.3, the mail/news and IRC functionality appear to
have been separated from the browser.  At least, I'm looking at a
set of RPMs

	mozilla-0.9.3-0.i386.rpm (7 meg)
	mozilla-mail-0.9.3-0.i386.rpm (1.6 meg)
	mozilla-chat-0.9.3-0.i386.rpm (90k)

7 megabytes is actually rather small for a browser install!  I also
notice that the mozilla memory footprint is now much smaller than it
used to be -- not much bigger (if at all) than Konqueror.
