Well, between Cliff and TMT, the signal/noise ratio here has exceeded

the overhead.

Thunderbird is a mail program, and not really a news reader.
Using a real news reader isn't an "add-on". It's a replacement.

Killfiles can be fast and painless.



I like the newsreader in Netscape 4.78. I've used it since it first
came out.



I used that one for years. Still do on my '98 laptop.

But 7.2 is worth the effort for an upgrade.


I have my archive of old posts and couldn't get them to work properly
with 7.2. I have moved the original instal from computer to computer,
along with the archives by installing the 4.78, then overwriting the
folder with the data from the older computer. I's made it through at
least six computers that way, starting with my first win 95 computer.
