Don't know why you don't like the interface but you can't find a
newsreader better at scoring and killfiling than Xnews.

Re: OT newsreader questions
Well, I am trying out thunderbird vs the old Netscape Communicator 4.79
which I like a lot and... well.... not sure yet.
It is way too 'flashy' with icons for everything. I am slowly weeding
that out, but still...
The headers are far too big so the view page is much smaller. Even in
text the header bars are fat pigs that take up way too much space. HTML
size, not a text line...
The mail and news is all crammed into one main window and I haven't
figured out yet how to make one for each like the old one did so I can
just flip between the groups I have open and the email by tagging the
bottom bar.
The email 'here' bottom row arrow down tag doesn't open the email window
like 4.79 does.
The layout is crowded even still.
Still not sure if I am posting in html or text!
I will play around with it for a while, but....
Tried Xnews, don't like it much either, but am getting to learn it too
just because I have nothing else to do.
I don't use filters. I don't want to use filters, so that aspect of any
reader is not a plus or minus for me. I seem to be one of the few that
quote the Charter to Spammers, with quite good results by the way, most
email me back privately saying they won't continue. There are some
however....

Re: OT newsreader questions
Have you tried Seamonkey? In My Non Humble Opinion, it resembles
Mozilla 1.7.x more than FireFox is. In classic mode is reasonably close
to old Communicator--except that both Mozilla 1.x and Seamonkey have far
more compliant HTML and CSS support.
Plus if you don't like their setup, you can use advanced preferences and
pretty much make it do as you please.

Mozilla 1.7.x more than FireFox is. In classic mode is reasonably close
to old Communicator--except that both Mozilla 1.x and Seamonkey have far
more compliant HTML and CSS support.
Plus if you don't like their setup, you can use advanced preferences and
pretty much make it do as you please.

Re: OT newsreader questions
Have you tried Seamonkey? In My Non Humble Opinion, it resembles
Mozilla 1.7.x more than FireFox is. In classic mode is reasonably close
to old Communicator--except that both Mozilla 1.x and Seamonkey have far
more compliant HTML and CSS support.
Plus if you don't like their setup, you can use advanced preferences and
pretty much make it do as you please.
