Although I use Xnews for some of my usenet stuff, I admit that I just
use the newsreader built into OE for text groups like this, and operate
via the news server provided by my ISP. I know many believe anything put
out by MS to be the devil's work, and especially their OE newsreader,
but it is perfectly adequate for reading and posting on groups such as
S.E.R., and above all, it is *very* simple to set up and maintain
filters, using its inbuilt functionality.

Hear, Hear. After trying 8-10 of the most popular newsreader client
applications, I concluded that Outlook Express is still the most user-
friendly and straightforward of them all. Hope I will still be able to
run it on Win7. (Bypassing the whole "Vista" quagmire completely.)


My God !! That's the first time anyone's ever agreed with me on that
particular point !

I guess we'll both get pilloried now for being philistines ... :-)

I have used OE and now Windows Mail for a number of years and generally like
them, but I still have trouble figuring how to filter spam effectively using
these programs. I don't think they can block by domain - at least I haven't
found that in the options. I've tried deleting by keyword and that doesn't
seem to help either.
