This has been a prime example of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Ever
since I learned how to use a computer I have watched as people complain
about MS. One of the big bitches was them bundling. So now they offer an OS
without any mail program, so people are mad.
If you are smart enough to get on line with the new PC with Win. 7, you
can load and try any number of programs for mail and news, yet it seems to
still cause a lot of complaining. <shrug>
I have 1 PC with win.7 and love it. WLM was a snap for me, and if I can do
it anyone can. If it was not for the one program I use all the time that can
not be replaced, I would buy a copy of W-7 for this machine.

MS was forced because of legal reasons to remove the mail program and a

I've been using xNews for probably the past 12 years.
http://xnews.newsguy.com/
It's not bloatware, only 1.22 Mb in size.
More filters, score files, regex, crosspost control, 6 levels of color,
font quote controls, external editor support.
It's fassssst! The GUI is un-obtrusive (no "glitz" whatsoever). It's
free. The only price you pay is a fair learning curve.
I've never used a more capable Usenet newsreader, imho, of course.

Thunderbird works pretty good, still getting used to it. Should be fine
in another week after I get used to the interface.
Hope this helps

based forums, so windows live mail is a very basic newsreader. it does not
support yenc, is not good at all for multi part binaries. For binaries flv
rar etc, i use xnews which has always done exactly what i wanted. has great
filtering too. it's no longer supported but a good newsreader.

I find it very easy to use and love the rules. It has a lot of options but it is still easy
to use with very little setup.
