I use Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7.1 for several reasons. First of all
it provides all of my needs from email to Usenet. Second of all, it's
open source and essentially free. Third, its behaviour is almost
completely consistent across the platforms I use--Windows, MacOS X and
Linux. If you have any interest, check it out at:

I paid $30 for it (after trying Free Agent for a few months
and falling in love with it) and have used it for 10 years.
I figure $3/yr is a good price for an excellent newsreader.

Forte agent doesn't suck. They even have a free version (oddly enough,
called "Free Agent" which also doesn't suck much. I've never been
happy with any of Netscape/Mozilla's newsreaders either.

I like Agent http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php
There's a freeware version called Free Agent that you can start with.

I tried the upgrade and decided that it didn't warrant the fee
at all, at least not for my purposes. I'll wait for the next
bug fix/feature addition, like being able to filter for more
than just email address or title. I've wanted that for years
now. When you plonk someone, you'd like the replies to that
idiot plonked as well, knowwhatImean,Vern? Filtering message
bodies is the only way to do that, and they still haven't
set up for that. <sigh> Other than that, I love the prog.
I've never lost a database and have lost only 3 indices in the
multiple-instance daily use I've given it for ten years.
It's a helluva program.

Windows: Free Agent! if you want to receive email and have other
controls, then get the full version, Agent. However, FA is the best
newsreader.

X-News for Windows: http://xnews.newsguy.com/ a free reader and poster
with a little bit of a learning curve. Works well.

Yep. Me too. I've been using for Agent 1.x for years, now Agent 2.x
is out, there's a small charge to upgrade. It's peanuts for such a
good program.

MS has made it harder and harder to do, but I remove OE completely
from my machines.
I'm using Agent...... right now.

IMHO, it's Agent...free or otherwise.
It's fast and logically arranged.
I disable Outlook Express...it's the target platform for most of the
infections!

pan (www.rebelbase.org/pan) is avilable for both linux and windows.

Since you've tried the rest, now try the best: Agent
you can get it at www.forteinc.com
It's not a freebie. If you want a little less full featured version,
you can get freeagent. Almost as good for no $
