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...

Thunderbird is free.


If you can use Filters or Junk controls or some other method in
Thunderbird to get rid of all the spam showing up in the Wreck, I'd
surely like to know how. It looks like you can create filters from
existing messages, but I don't see how to get them to clean out the
headers that have already been downloaded.

killfile...
