Sending myself E-mail from Netscape (and then reading it via the
built-in mail window with POP retrieval) I found that Javascript is
indeed sent and interpreted by Netscape Navigator.
I guess I could have been real nasty and actually SENT it to
the entire mailing list just to show everyone ... but I'm a nice guy :-)

scrolling ticker-tape marquees implemented in Javascript
I found for the borrowing -- to publicize our annual Symposium).
Point Netscape at the Web page, then mail the document to yourself as source.
The resulting mail message in your inbox should look like:
