I don't know about Netscape but it works for me with Opera and MSIE.

In Opera go to Preferences->Mail, choose "Use external mail application"
and enter "<path>\PMMailw.exe /srd".

If you use NT it is important that you either use PMMail under the same
account you used to install PMMail or that you copy the registry entry of
PMMail from the account you used to install PMMail to every other account
under which you want to use PMMail (with regedit export/import). Otherwise
PMMail will not find its correct working directory.
