No browser is totally 'secure'. Likely whatever you are using right now for a web browser has a critical
vulnerability (or more) that's just waiting to be discovered/exploited. Find a well supported browser YOU like,
keep it and your OS patched and up todate, learn and use the security functions in your OS and browser and
practice safe surfing and you will likely be as safe as you can be.

It was just a crash bug, recently found to be a regression in Fx 1.5.
Yeah. It's pretty good. You might prefer Opera, though; it's also
good.

And have been doing so by 6 years. I used Turnpike for a while but it sucks.

Which still doesn't make OE an NNTP client.

Uh, yes - Agent is an NNTP client. What else did you think it was -
an HTTP client?
R
RGreen
So is OE. Plus a SMTP , POP3 and IMAP client.

Al Klein
OE is a lamed-down version of a not-so-great email client. Having
NNTP capability grafted on doesn't make it an NNTP client, any more
than the existence of Google makes Firefox an NNTP client.

OE is not the most advanced NNTP client but it IS an NNTP client. Forte
Agent is then NOT a NNTP client because Xana or Gravity are MUCH more
advanced. By your same logic, Ford is not a car because it is not a Ferrari.
Outlook Express IS a NNTP client because it uses the NNTP protocol to talk
to a NNTP server. So Einstein...

So ... evidently you don't know what "client" means. <plonk>

No, I think *you* are wrong in this thread. What in your opinion is a
client?

Don't plonk the man who seems to be right. It looks like you have a
problem with the usual definition of NNTP client so please tell us why
you think OE isn't a NNTP client. It uses the NNTP protocol to connect
to news servers, get headers and articles etc. which makes it a NNTP
client AFAIK.

It's a mail client with nntp handling added on as an afterthought. The
metaphor is still commercial mail, not news, which is why so many OE
(and Outlook) posts look so wrong (top posting, html, no trimming
....).
