You might be interested in Mozilla's new Internet Suite SeaMonkey.
See: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/

It has a strange name, but the programs are great.[/QUOTE]

I used Netscape when it was a suite. I much prefer the separate apps as
I only need a browser and email (and don't want a single crash to bring
everything down).

I've moved to Thunderbird. I don't know what I've been waiting for.
This is so much better. I've put up with WinMail since June, no more.
I was just using it for newsgroups, too. I use Outlook for email.

For those feeling aggravated by Windows Mail, use Thunderbird...
you'll be happy that you did.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
Thunderbird 1.5


I'm actually using Thunderbird 2.0 RC1...
WinMail is the one that acts like a beta,
not Thunderbird.

I'm using SuperGravity - only thing I used to do with OE6 was have it color my
posts, but I cannot find any way to do that in Gravity. Very quick also.
 
Michael:

Welcome aboard. I've used Thunderbird for both email and newsgroups for
a few years now and been quite happy with it. I briefly tried WinMail
for newsgroups to see what it was like, but was sorely disappointed.

BTW, I always avoid the Release Candidates, myself. Not so much because
they don't work, but because I'm a little concerned about possible
problems when upgrading from them. I usually uninstall my old version of
Thunderbird (which only removes the program, but leaves behind one's
profile) before installing a new version, anyway, and that might be good
enough, even when moving up from a Release Candidate. But you might want
to research the matter a bit first, to be safe.

Thanks for the advice, David.

Didn't you get a free copy of Office 2007?
You don't like Outlook? I've use Outlook
for so long, it would be almost impossible
for me to get used to something else.

If I have any questions about Thunderbird,
I know who to email. :)


Take care,

Michael

OL does that also.
[/QUOTE]

OL 2000 doesn't. I have it set at HTML, not rich text or edit with Word.

Is OL2000 usable in Vista?

Why? Are you paying too much for all those extra KBs? You snipped so much
your answer stands by itself and you look like you're replying to the air.
 
Thunderbird doesn't tell you when there are new newsgroups, like WinMail and
Outlook Express do. and it doesn't put the newsgroups in alphabetical order
without some cumbersome workaround.

Ummm there are over 60,000 newsgroups or so IIRC. Most users keep
track of what? less than 10?

I personally have 4 newsgroups I subscribe to and they aren't likely
to change anytime soon...

I'd get annoyd if I was notified of "new newsgroups" all the friggin
time that are of no interest to me to be honest.

I'm not sure how to quantify "most users" -- I'm reading just under a
hundred groups right now.

Which is why god invented "Options" -- Those of us that have a wide
range of interests appreciate knowing about new groups.

I don't have my client set to popup about new groups, but I can pull a
list of newsgroups and identify the new ones (either on a per-server
basis, meaning individual servers added a group, or on a global basis,
meaning "This is the first time I've seen this new group existing
anywhere")

I find that a little hard to believe. Subscribed...fine. Though I have
to say at that point in time...you're the first person I know that
does that.

But I can't imagine anyone reading that many newsgroups a day. If I
just figure 10 minutes on average per newsgroup which is not all that
much, times 100 newsgroups is 1000 minutes or over 16 hours.

So you're telling me you are spending 16 hours a day reading
newsgroups? When do you eat? sleep? work?

Hmm every newsgroup client I've used to date, though maybe thunderbird
is different in that regard (used i only once, didn't really like it),
has the ability to get me a list of new newsgroups.

The original post though I interpreted more along the lines of being
automatically notified, which would bug me.

It's configurable in Windows Mail.

Tools, Options, General, Notify me if there are new newsgroup.

Mine is checked to notify. It's really no big deal. An occasional
extra click or two every few days.

Never said it's a big deal. It's just one of those "features" of Vista and
its related applications that couldn't care less about...like most other of
its little toys and gimmicks.
