Suggestions for Ratpoison-friendly apps?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I've been grabbing the .tar.gz and unzipping it and using paths to get 
around it not being in a repo personally, as for addons yes, I'm fairly 
sure there's a noscript that works with Seamonkey as well. THat's a fair 
point about the bloat of extra things, but to me it's still lighter and 
quicker than Thunderbird, which is a lower bar to clear with each update 
for TB though...and Quantum, YMMV on that but it's improved a bit with 
recent updates however
