Try it! You'll like it! Great message filter and a "trainable" spam
filter. And it's free for downloading. :-)

I'm an AGING Hippy. No more anti US Establishmentaryinism BS for me.
No more hair either!!! :-)
Now a fierce pride for my country, to the point my wife has asked me to
pull it back a bit.That probally won't happen though.
Yet a willingness to try something other than Microsoft or Apple for
that matter when it suits me. Still try to buck the system now and then.

Posting now using Thunderbird, so far so good. If I dont like it I'll
try the other non Microsoft news readers mentioned in this thread


Thanks all for the input
