Advising someone to ditch OE would seems like good advice for any number
of reasons. It is the number one vector for email mailware on the planet,
and as a newsgroup reader it has a number of limitations - loosing message
threading due to (apparently) differing posting times being just one of
them.


Isn't Outlook (as in, the paid-for Office component) susceptible to the same
MS-targeted problems as OE, as regards email?

I use OE as a newsreader myself (with Outlook for email), admittedly for no
better reason than the fact that OE was 'there' when I wanted a newsreader,
and I keep meaning to get round to using something better. Would be
interested to know what others here prefer and why!
