Newsgroup prog
 

Hi
Just installed windows 7, never used a newsgroup program but it seems I have
to with windows 7 as there is no outlook express with this OS, so any advice
on a good simple program free is poss but I will pay if need be, free always
sounds nicer to me, but I understand you only get what you pay for.
Read a few reviews on Google but I would rather hear from people who use
them and there must be a few in this group, I would rather not use Google
groups if poss.

Thanks for your help

Gordon

Re: Newsgroup prog
 

Several have wondered if there is anyway to use OE (or WinMail in Vista) in Windows
7.

This page addresses some of the potential means to do so:

MS thinks you should use WLM Windows Live Mail, which resembles OE
significantly.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...r-windows-mail You
might have noticed that Windows Mail isn't included in Windows 7.
However, you can install an e‑mail program from another company or
Windows Live Mail—a free program that is part of Windows Live Essentials.

Naturally WLM is capable of compatibility with your old OE messages.

Most reviewers discourage trying to use OE from XP or WM Windows Mail
from Vista.

Thunderbird is a popular mail/news client which is being actively
developed and improved whereas other popular news agents don't also do
mail and other popular mail agents don't also do news.

Unlike OE which can handle binaries with helpers such as yProxy, Tbird
is useless for binaries.

Well, it doesn't indicate what part of your followup was from the
original post, and what part you wrote - that's a major shortcoming.

It also doesn't separate your signature from your post - another major
problem.

Even the original Outlook Express did better than that.

OE was replaced with "Windows live mail" and it does newsgroups.
My favorite client is 40tude dialog.
Forte Agent is also good.

And of course it totally ****s up quoting of previous posts so ****ing
badly that it looks as if you wrote a question and answer in one post.

> Not perfect

Understatement of the ****ing century.

Hardly.

****, it can't even format a sig.
