I use Thunderbird (the email client that goes with Firefox), for both
email and newsgroups and it works fine for regular newsgroups. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ If you get into binary newsgroups with big files you will want something like Agent.

I have always used outlook express through my high speed internet provider.
Never had any problems, and the interface is very user friendly.

I use OE too.
Loads of people dislike it, but I have tried a gob of others and prefer the way it handles my email and newsgroups in one tight little package. It's easy to filter unwanted messages, and that's a good thing! Oh AND... it plays well with AV software too. You may want to look at everything you have seen offered, and then make your choice based on your personal requirements. Kate |

Outlook Express. No brainer. One thing Microsoft did right.

OUTLOOK and Outlook Express, are two COMPLETELY different animals. I don't much like Outlook either but OE is the news handler if you are using Outlook. Kate |

I'm no hippie but I try to keep my use of Microsoft products to a
minimum, and Firefox/Thunderbird really does work well. There is also a great alternative to Office, Open Office. It is compatible with MS office, but it has two big advantages, it's not a MS product and the price is right, FREE! http://www.openoffice.org/ Jeff DeWitt ufatbasted wrote: > Kate wrote: > >> "ufatbasted" > wrote in >> >>> >>> Thnaks all I'm trying Mozilla.
