Anyone tried thunderbird newsreader by the same folks who did Mozilla?
I like it.
I like it.

ThunderBird is a good email client which I use quite happily, but the
USENET component is horribly broken at this point.

I'm waiting for more stability and for the size to be *at least* cut in
half. That second requirement may not happen...if not, no big loss.
I'm really not interested in a 7mb mail client. I could deal with 3.5-
4 if the features warrant it.

Oh, I'm reading you post with it ^__^
Though there are some behaviours I still don't understand (why there's
always 1 thread fully open? Why doesn't TB scroll automatically to the
top of the thread list?) I use it to read news and I don't miss OE.

I'm much happier with version 0.2. - quite decent for both email and
usenet. The only annoyance is that should you use a news server which
requires a password, it appears to store the password on a per *group*
basis - thus readily giving the impression that the password store
facility is broken.
But with a little patience one finds that it is not.

If you are just reading newsgroups as opposed to downloading binaries,
yes, ThunderBird works just fine in spite of the quirks. However, I
suggest checking the bugs forum before deciding to use ThunderBird as
your sole newsreader to avoid disappointment. Thunderbird is very
early in it's development and, for now, I would suggest using xnews
(Windows) or Pan (LINUX).

Yes, I'm not an hardcore news user, I only read few newsgrops, post few
messages, I don't downoald any binary.
Thanks, I'll do.
Bye, Fede.

I have been using Thunderbird for several months, passing through
several upgrades, on the assumption that anything other than MS must
be better. My opinions:
0. Looks nice
1. Incredibly slow on every function, and bloated
2. Supports several different spellers
3. Though not directly, supports non-European alphabets.
4. Maintains antiquated Netscape Newsgroup structure.
All in all, though I tried very hard, its slowness and Netscape
features defeated me. I try not to use OE, but for my multilingual
correspondence it's the best, and it has a rational News system.
