I completely disagree about Thunderbird and Usenet. I thought it was terrible. Mangled quotes, hard (for me) to use. And what I really disliked about it is that I once mistakenly sent out a personal email respone over my Usenet account. (Heartfelt letter to my younger brother who, at the time, was strugglng with addiction. I've seen others do something similar.) That was the last time I ever used Thunderbird for Usenet. Since then I've always used something specifically designed for newsgroups, basically Xnews (then Xnews under Wine), then Pan, then slrn. That said, choice is good. Use what you're comfortable with. I'm not sure why you don't want to use Mozilla software, but I'm sure there's a reason. -- The more I see of Windows, the more I like Linux.
