YMMV. But since I'm posting here, those stupid "latest Microsoft
updates"-eMails rocketed up. Not that they will harm my PC (read Mac),
but OE is potentially a big risk. As I sayd, _Y_MMV!

Well, that's a function of several different considerations. One being the
fact that posting to usenet brings spam, the other being that most people
are smart enough not to install software from spam, neither of which bear on
the ability of OE to function properly. I believe there used to be an issue
with usenet and mail not having a high enough default security setting, but
it's user-changeable anyway and IIRC had the default behavior changed in an
update some time ago.

Some people don't like the general features of OE, which is a valid point,
but I find it perfectly adequate for my uses. As you said, YMMV.
