Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
I think someone (Earle ?) convinced me that the American pronounciation was
more correct actualy. English people tend not to pronounce their 'R's at the
end of a sentence. I remember being baffled as a kid where I read an English
book that thought that "door" and "saw" rhymed !?!
I pronounce it jag-u-war which may similarly annoy :-)

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
Looked at the Bat site. Of the features I need, it seems Outlook Express
can do much the same. The biggest issue seems to me to be security, and
isn't that taken care of by regular Norton AV updates?
As regards manipulation of e-mail on a remote server, my ISP gives me web
access to my POP3 account so can get to it from anywhere. As soon as I can
log into my e-mail account directly I can download any work I have done; I
send myself copies of any outgoing mail so that it arrives in my
downloadable Inbox. In other words, this is entirely
e-mail-client-independent. Does Bat! offer something superior?

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
Doesn't that make it an adjective, too, as in Jeepers Creepers?
Am not sure if there should be an apostrophe before or after the s in
Jeepers.

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
Only a North American would think that my fellow southern Englishmen and I
pronounce the "o" in the words listed below the same way as the "aw" in the
words listed. Maybe they sound the same when viewed from/heard in Atlanta
(where I was once mistaken for a Yank from NY!) but they are certainly
different in my part of the world.
BTW, we don't have "British" accents in Britain! We certainly have many
varieties of accent, but not anything known as "British", not even
collectively...
There are English accents, Welsh and Scottish accents and even Irish accents
in the UK, never mind Estuary (a new term), Scouse...
Even though I am serious, do I need a smilie face?

For news, you can get Forte Free Agent. Much better than OE. It will
do your mail if you like too. You can upgrade to Forte Agent
(has a few "nice to have" features) for $29 if you like. They'll
give you free updates/release for many years.

No.
I like Microsoft mostly. However, there are major issues with
security holes. If you do not patch those holes, it is possible for
people to attack your system. Not every attack is a virus or trojan
horse.

One is not a moron for not knowing something, that is called
ignorance. We are all ignorant of quite a bit, until we learn it. As
they say, ignorance is bliss - but that phrase is quite misused,
seeming to imply stupidity instead of simple lack of knowledge of a
particular area of study....
But I digress.
Agent is awesome, Free Agent is free but less awesome. XNews is
allegedly awesome, but I haven't used it. I heard it was free.
Netslut comes with a news reader that is superior to outhouse, so
probably does Mozilla and Opera. I believe there are at least two
other products I have seen comments on in the last couple days.
Try Googling for "free news reader". I did and got hits on Agent from
Forte, and a number of other products I never heard of.

I like Xnews especially for downloading large files that are split up by
most news servers. I still use OE sometimes (like now), but more and more I
am getting used to Xnews. It is free and it can be downloaded here:
