OT newsreader questions
All
I been reading and posting here the past few years using google groups via my browser. I'm sick of the trolls and need to killfile them. What newsreader do you guys use. I have xnews put just dont like the interface. |
Re: OT newsreader questions
I use Thunderbird (the email client that goes with Firefox), for both
email and newsgroups and it works fine for regular newsgroups. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ If you get into binary newsgroups with big files you will want something like Agent.

Re: OT newsreader questions
I have always used outlook express through my high speed internet provider.
Never had any problems, and the interface is very user friendly.

Re: OT newsreader questions
I use OE too.
Loads of people dislike it, but I have tried a gob of others and prefer the way it handles my email and newsgroups in one tight little package. It's easy to filter unwanted messages, and that's a good thing! Oh AND... it plays well with AV software too. You may want to look at everything you have seen offered, and then make your choice based on your personal requirements. Kate |

Re: OT newsreader questions
I'm no hippie but I try to keep my use of Microsoft products to a
minimum, and Firefox/Thunderbird really does work well. There is also a great alternative to Office, Open Office. It is compatible with MS office, but it has two big advantages, it's not a MS product and the price is right, FREE! http://www.openoffice.org/ Jeff DeWitt ufatbasted wrote: > Kate wrote: > >> "ufatbasted" <ufatbasted@yahoo.com> wrote in >> >>> >>> Thnaks all I'm trying Mozilla.

I wont use IE either. I've been living work-free for eleven years thanks to people who buy Microsoft products. I guess it would be ungrateful not to use them too. Outlook is a completely different animal from Outlook Express. It doesn't even read news. When I was at Microsoft, everyone was using Outlook Express. I could never figure why Outlook exists. Earle |
