Just curious whets the matter with Outlook ? Its
already on your computer, It's free. It's easy and
it has filters.

Not Outlook, Outlook _Express_--different products, with no real
relation between them except that both are from Microsoft, both do
email, and both have "Outlook" in the name. You have to buy Outlook
and it doesn't have NNTP support without a third-party add-in. On
Vista, Outlook Express is no longer called that but is now "Windows
Mail".

Some people give the impression that they would rather die than use
Outlook Express and Internet Explorer--I don't understand the mindset
that gets that distraught about such things, but some people do.

I've been using Google Groups, but it has no
filters.

I'm tired of sorting out the legitimate posts
from the spam.

Can anyone recommend a good (preferably free)
news reader that will
work with Windows Vista?

I'm not really a bit-head, so installation needs
to be close to point
and click.

Thanks, and will be seeing you...
